We had an election in our country two weeks ago. Since the election, I have seen many Christians speak out publicly (through the use of social media) about their joy or sadness based on the results of the election. I have seen people say that because of the way people voted they don’t love them or their kids. I have seen people use derogatory names for other Christians who voted a different way. It is frankly sickening to me to see this kind of reaction.
God can use anyone or anything to carry out his purposes on this earth. Romans 13:1 says, “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities for there is no authority except that which God has established.” It is good to look at our culture and society and have serious worries about where our nation is going. It is a good thing to do your part and vote in elections and serve on committees and boards that can have an impact in your community. It is not okay to throw other people (Christians or non-Christians) under the bus because we do not agree with their opinions on politics (or other matters).
God is in control. Israel lost sight of the fact that God was supposed to be the King of their lives, and they demanded an earthly king from God (which he allowed). The allowance of that earthy kingship brought all sorts of troubles to Israel and not a lot of good came out of it. Pray for your leaders. Pray for those that you do not agree with. Serve in your community. Follow the example of Jesus and love the marginalized of society with compassion and gentleness. Treat others as image bearers of God, just like you. Let’s trust God completely.
