Today, I feel very solemn, hurt, and disappointed. Last night as I watched election results, I thought of how sad it is that a people can be so selfish. I have to ask, "Lord, am I selfish." I hear in my heart the answer, "Sometimes . . . I have enjoyed having my own little world. I am not afraid of pursecution for my faith. I am not fearful of where my next meal will come from; it is quite obvious that my body suffers no lack. My house is filled with wonderful trinkets, props, and tools that allow me to pursue my selfish ways.
Now, I shall walk some stress off and go to the neighbors house. I will return with new resolve to practice some selflessness.
I was feeling the same disappointment this morning but then I remembered, it wasn't God that was running in the election. He's still God. He's still in control. He loves us still. And our duty is to pray for the newly elected.
