As you all know, I love to observe American politics. Listening to NPR, hearing the political news, and reading updates on Washington keeps my blood pumping.
Lately, however, I haven't been too plugged in to what's going on. Frankly, I'm turned off by the amount of stubbornness and lack of cooperation that I'm seeing from every side of the equation.
Every person or party thinks their plan is the only way. Even folks within parties are fighting over what they think is best. No one wants to give an inch to the other side. Everyone wants everyone else to follow their lead.
It just doesn't work like that. And the proof is starting to manifest in the state of our nation.
I don't get it. We teach our children to share and compromise. Why can't our nation's leaders do the same?
Saints, let's continue to keep our leaders lifted up in prayer. Our nation is in the midst of a struggle, and only God can help us navigate through.
And, even as we pray, let's make sure that our attitudes are right with the people we interact with as well. Are we listening? Are we willing to compromise? Do we work in a manner that breeds cooperation?
Have a great day!
Verse of the Day: Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another... Romans 12:10
