THE Elections

Most of us think we are right. I guess it is natural, a part of mental health to believe we are right, that our ideas are good ideas. If we did not have this we would be full of fear and anxiety. Most of us don’t argue or hold a point of views just to be stupid, but some of us hold a point of view more out of pride, than out of truth.
Since I am a man I know of the “Manness” that causes my types to insist on being right even when they know they are wrong. In “Manness” we hold our course because it would be weak, dependent and humbling to change.
I had an idea of a vertical windmill in the prayer room one time. I was seeking God about an idea that would change the world. I might have been seeking the Lord about a personal idea of free energy for Rod. What I drew in my journal and later talked to a scientist about was a new creation of a vertical windmill. I know this was a creative new expression that would change humanity. You can understand how bummed out I was when I discovered that some engineers in France had built my design. I saw a picture on the internet. It is 50% more efficient than the horizontal based blade design. I was wrong about what I thought was new. It was already created. I thought I was right, but I was wrong. I thought I would build this invention and profit from it. Now I got to purchase it and help someone profit! Bummer!
In regard to the elections I find a great many people who call themselves Christians (followers of Christ) who do not seek the heat of God as to whom He wants to be our leader. Instead I find a great many people who reason from their personal perspective why they should support a leader. It is the foolishness of the human heart to think that we can know who should lead apart from God’s direction. By this I mean if you are not a follower of Christ Jesus, they please be free from the burden of asking God about His heart. But if you call yourself a Christian then you are quite obligated to know the will of God and do it.
If the leadership of America will affect millions of people, will have an impact on the world for a decade, will determine life and death in war, terrorism, violence, abortion, crime, famine and disaster; should we not gladly take a month or more to seek His will on the earth. There is a natural pride and arrogance in human nature that says “I know” what to do, how to vote. Yet God give more grace to the humble and if ever we are in need of more grace, this is that day and hour.
