It is better to listen to wise people who reprimand you than to fools who
sing your praises.
Ecc 7:5
I heard a discussion on Christian radio today concerning politics. They discussed people who might seek office and become a strong proponent of conservative Christian values. The moderators of the discussion agreed that it has yet to be seen what such a person would do should they be elected. That's because everyone in politics seems to be a product of those who surround them. Some leaders are strong enough to influence their influencers, but we haven't seen a person like that since Ronald Reagan. He was truly a conservative man of moral integrity. Now, if you consider him to be a great President, then I imagine you have issues with the person in charge right now.
It's almost funny that liberal leaders get most of their verbal approval and support from Hollywood actors, broadcast talking heads, and late-night television show hosts. Without exception these entertainers have nothing but praise for liberals and nothing but criticism for conservatives. On the other hand, we Christians are conservative by nature and pray for our enemies and whoever rules over us. That being the case, have you considered the irony of the situation? This President gets and rejects the right kind of support from his opposition, but accepts the wrong kind from his supporters. Don't figure!
Pray it
There's nothing so bad, that it can't be worse. I believe that, but it's hard to imagine. I lift up those who follow ungodly advice and try to undo everything righteous in our nation. It's good to remind myself there's nothing they can do or undo that You can't redo and do better, plus You will be the last One standing.
