Hello Everyone,
In light of the political elections that are coming up in American, I want to take a second to talk about politics but not in the way you might think.
I've noticed that everyone has an opinion about the current political landscape. Some hate Trump; Some hate Clinton and some hate everyone. But here's what really doesn't make sense to me. I see a lot of my friends and family on my personal Facebook page and other places posting about politics. They all have something to say about what should or shouldn't be done. They all have something to say about this person's moral character or that person's. They all have something to say about this person's truthfulness, etc. Yet not one of the people I have ever talked with has the capability (other than casting 1 vote) to do anything about it. Furthermore, neither one of the candidates cares about what any of them think on a personal level. Whoever gets elected is going to do whatever they please regardless of what you and I think.
So I've been asking the Lord what to do about it. Here's what the Lord showed me.
1. Whatsoever things are lovely, just, pure and of a good report, mediate on these. That doesn't mean that you ignore things but it does mean that you shouldn't focus on them. Focus on God's word. It will actually make a difference in your life.
2. Find someone to bless today. This one is huge. I can't really influence who gets elected but I can influence the people around me. Do you know someone who needs encouragement or maybe someone who needs a meal. The list of needs goes on and on. Did you know the Bible says that when you give to someone in need, you give to Jesus? That's really big.
3. Remove a critical spirit from you. See I have noticed that before the Lord told me to quit giving the race so much attention that I was getting critical. Not only was I critical of the people in the election but I started being critical of people around me. That's no place to live.
So I ask again - Politics or People? The choice is yours.
That's another Opinion of the Minion.
