This current election season, I have found myself very sad over the state of our nation. Passionate hatred, the choice to be ignorant, and 'Fear and Smear' tactics have over come our country.
Being an American, I have a sense of pride in the progress we have made to embrace our differences. I kind of thought we were 'over' letting hate direct our decisions.
This isn't an argument in support of any presidential hopeful, but a mere plea to not belittle your faith by shoving it into a box marked Republican, Democrat, or anything inbetween. American policy isn't as simple as black and white, pro-life or pro-choice, and where an candidate claims to stand on the issue.
It is dangerous to assume you know a man's (or woman's) heart by their voting history, the church they attent or their family life. You can't know this. Maybe you will have the chance to get to truly know one, maybe two people's hearts on this planet. But don't trust in this as your sole reason for voting for a candidate.
"Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in man.Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in princes."-Psalm 118:8 & 9
So, as a follower of Christ, I actually have no hope in the current administration. Or the next one.
My hope is in the work that God is doing in people all around the world. I am voting and I am so thankful that I can.
