I have been back and forth on how much to put out there about this upcoming election. But as you see I landed on–this is too important of an election to not speak.
Let me start this with some basics and I think the lyrics to this song speak it pretty well.
Firm Foundation
Maverick City Music- Austin David/Chandler Moore/Cody Carnes
Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
‘Cause He’s never let me down
He’s faithful through generations
So why would he fail now?
He won’t, He won't
I’ve still got joy in chaos
I’ve got peace that makes no sense
So I won’t be going under
I’m not held by my own strength
‘Cause I’ve built my life on Jesus
He’s never let me down
He’s faithful in every season
So why would he fail now?
He won’t, He won’t
…..
Oh,Rain came and wind blew
But my house was built on you
I’m safe with You
I’m gonna make it through
….’Cause my house is built on you
….
I’ve left out some repetitive lines for the sake of space but this song gives a starting point in facing the times we live in where chaos reigns.
We have 2 choices this year and many are sharply divided and cemented into the side they will choose. To me the choice could not be more clear. In one direction America continues going down the path to communism, atheism and destruction. In the other we can go back to building America back to its roots-built in faith, family, rule of law, freedom, life liberty and the pursuit if happiness. Out of many- one. One side lies and distorts the truth daily- they don’t want us to see what they are really about because then most sane people would reject it. Unfortunately our education system has been so taken over by the progressive agenda for decades that many have not been taught the hows and whys of why America is exceptional.
For those of you who flatly reject Trump, why? I’m guessing you buy into the media lies about him, or you don’t buy into that but reject him due to his past sins and character flaws. He’s not cozy and fluffy in his demeanor but his policies have clearly made things better in America. He is a champion of the unborn, Israel, religious freedoms, freedom of speech and on, protecting the American people from foreign invasion, boosting an economy that grows and provides jobs and affordable living for all. We need only look at his record of when he was president to see. The fact he was able to do so much despite the constant baseless attacks from his enemies speaks to his fortitude and determination to work for Us despite the attacks from elite government establishment.
If you are basing things on the liberal media, all I can say to that is dig deeper and search out the truth. If you reject him on his character and past sins I would ask you- would you have voted for King David as king…if that was a thing? He murdered and committed adultery. The Bible is filled with broken people that God uses for his good. Having a checkered past or brash personality doesn’t disqualify someone from being used.
For those of you who love Harris, why? Before she took over the nomination (without any votes) the media portrayed her as one of the worst VP’s ever. Her record of public service is dismal. So suddenly what, she is amazing and going to fix everything. If she was going to do so much, she’s had 4 years to do it and has not. She champions abortion, illegal immigration, and many Marxist agenda policies. Her time in power she has done nothing to show she will be pro American, pro law and order or pro life. So as well for you, dig deeper and see the truth about her and not what the media tells you.
While I obviously hope Trump will be the victor in November because I love America and American ideals. I know he does as well and will work for the betterment of American citizens. A strong America is a strong world. If America falls there is no 2nd string. I know if Harris and those running her show win it will be a fast track to the end of America as we knew her. I know that may sound like an exaggeration but look how fast our downfall has already come. Our society is spinning out of control in a world where right is now wrong and good is now evil, wrong is right and things that are evil are now considered good, where truth is only your truth. A society based on that will not survive.
Side note, we are not a democracy and that was very purposeful by the founders. They developed a constitutional republic to spread the power evenly so all areas of the country would have a voice. Democracies never last and our constitutional republic only survives if we are moral God following people.
Back to where I started with Christ as my firm foundation. I know that God is in control and if America’s downfall is allowed by Him I will still have no fear. It could be that we need to be broken so many more will see God’s truth and come to Him. That above all is more important than any county, any election and anything this world can throw at us. He could also bring about revival through repairing the damage and stopping the freefall allowing Trump to win. What I do know is that God sees the big picture and the plan and whichever way it goes we can still praise Him and trust Him.
I will go vote and do my part in picking the person that protects the unborn, families and the American way of life, but if what I hope for is not God’s plan I will not be shaken, I will not fear for God is with me and never fails.
