This morning Nancy and I sat down with a cup of coffee and reflected on the outcome of the election. Our country is terribly divided and seems to be moving in the wrong direction. It is becoming more secular (as was clearly noted on TV last night). The decision made by our citizens yesterday wasn't just about a ruined economy or a failed foreign policy. It was just as much about partial birth abortion, you and I paying for it, infanticide (post birth abortion), assisted suicide (they call this patient rights, I call it murder), legalizing pot (which is now legal in Colorado), and a host of other things.
Christians are being marginalized and pushed aside, and now are forced to pay for things which we find reprehensible and conflicting with our beliefs. The world is not getting better, it's getting worse and it's just not friendly anymore, much less to those of us who believe in God.
However, we do find solace in knowing Jesus Christ our Savior and the plan he has in mind for us. Here is what we read this morning at 6:00a in Romans 5:2-6
We have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance, and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out with our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
