Fast forward from yesterday to today.
Is God sovereign? Yes! Do we have choices in the course of human events? Yes!
Are we held responsible for the choices we make? Yes! Does God’s sovereignty
give us license to make poor decisions? No! As is expected, being knowledgeably
aware of how God’s divine intervention and His consent relate brings with it a
degree of tension, and in that tension our faith can proliferate and in so
doing bear fruit.
What each one of us does in our
lives, every vote that we cast, every leader that ascends, all of it happens
under the providence of God. However, God’s sovereignty does not grant us
license for godless or iniquitous choices.
So as election 2016 is now history
past and 2020 general election proceeds forward, take comfort in knowing that
God stands in control amidst all this chaos. But remember, we are called not
merely to rest in His control, but to actively display His character in the
choices we make. Leaders may rise under His providence, but if we choose them,
we will be held accountable for both the good and the bad.
Final comment: Has not God called every believer to be a
cultivating force in the beliefs, pursuits, and practices of society? Is there
not a biblical case for Christian activism? Yes! Where and when does it begin? It
commences here and now. Our immediate disputants are but not limited to those antagonists who are advocates
of secularism, humanism, liberalism, antisemitism, classism, ageism, sexism,
Islamism, Marxism, socialism, totalitarianism…One World Government (NWO).
