For many days now my mind has been entrenched with political thoughts. In general, I try to steer clear of political discussions. In most cases, someone always walks away frustrated or mad. Is that right to circumvent these conversations, probably not? Ideally, each party would have enough respect for one another that we would treat each other with gentleness and respect (Colossians 3:12). I try to be sensitive to others’ viewpoints, but it is very easy to view one side as right and the other as wrong. To that end, it’s challenging at times to see any differences between Christians and non-Christians by how we discuss politics or the ways in which we respond to the outcome. Regardless of our candidate’s success or lack there of, God is sovereign (Colossians 1:16-17, Daniel 4:35). God created all things for His good pleasure. His plan is perfect. A colleague and I prayed this morning for our nation, for the new leadership, and for our country. Let us stand united as one country under God as we press forward.
Here is a great little article reminding us of our duty: http://www.worldmag.com/webextra/14617
