Devotionals
Who runs the world? Even someone of limited political background will come up with the same answer: not me. We seem to be locked into a hopeless spiral where things instead of getting better, spiral into increasing anarchy and chaos.
Yes, you can study all of this from a political viewpoint. Some would say that the fate of nations worldwide is under the direct influence of one man. It isn’t you, is it? You would certainly need a lot more money to pull this one off.
The pundits continue to argue. It is the democrats. It is the republicans. I think the reality is that it really doesn’t make all that much difference who is in power. Both sides are probably equal in mismanagement. They are not set on freedom; they understand only preserving the system.
Christ and God’s message has been true since the dawn of time. Christ was quoting Isaiah when he said his mission was “To bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” (Isaiah 61:1)
You can say, “I am not a prisoner when we are obviously captive to just about every imaginable drug—both legal and illegal—to make our lives better. Worry is a poison that we consume almost gleefully. We know we shouldn’t but the list of things is broadcast to us on a daily basis. We worry about our economy, our 401K’s, our jobs and whatever passes our way to think about.
We’re supposed to live as free people (1Pet 2:16). Yes, we are to be slaves, but we are to be God’s slaves. Our freedom is not for evil. We are working for the Boss who is in charge of everything that motivates and trains us.
We will have troubles; that is part of the training. There will be wars and rumors of wars. It has been prophesized many times. We don’t control any of the playing cards being dealt out. God guides us through each step on the way, in peace
