The View From Ninety-Two

(2 Timothy 2:4 NIV)
No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer.

I'm a bit mad about politics.  The 2008 Presidential race offers no real choice --- either Liberal or Liberal Lite.  Additionally, policy is being promoted (and adopted) in reaction to the great Environmentalism lie of Global Warming --- which if a differing opinion is presented tends to be greeted by the same response as being opposed to Darwinism.  So what happened to the idea of tolerance so touted by The Left?  Pop-politics!  Aaargh! It sounds so enlightened --- oh blah, blah, blah it makes me wanna barf.

[deep breath]

It's far too easy to walk by sight during circumstances that "squeeze me."

And then I'm reminded of God's ways (they are not the ways of man).  And I'm reminded that He alone is Savior (not the government).  And I'm reminded that God takes care of those who serve Him with their lives (not the economy or government welfare).  And I'm reminded that this world, by design, is perishing (not because we use oil).  And I'm reminded that I have hope beyond today and the span of my life on earth.

Thank you God for truth.  Help me rest in You today, and not in what I deem to be favorable circumstances --- pleasure does not necessarily equate to good.
