God's Will

On the eve of the craziest election ever, I often hear people say, “If it’s God’s will, then so and so will happen.”  I don’t think that’s quite accurate.  Looking back through history, was Hitler’s reign of terror God’s will?  Was the stoning of Christians by the Romans, God’s Will.  Obviously the answer to both is no.

God doesn’t want anything but the best for us.  The problem is that He gives us a free will.  That means that we get to do what we want to, in spite of His will.  If we want to destroy ourselves and bow down to evil, it is our will.  Not His.

God expects us to fight for His cause.  That is His will.  That’s why He has angels to combat evil.  Angels are really not cute little cherubs with wings.  They are not just messengers, but are fierce warriors.  And, they do His will because they are in His service.

Yes, everyone that loves this country needs to be in prayer for the country, but don’t blame God or try to explain away evil as His will, because it is not.  It is His will for those that seek office, first seek His guidance, and do that.

Going back to the history of this country, you will discover that every time that the country starts going down the toilet (so to speak), it is only by a renewal of commitment to His will that saves us.

Further determination of His will in this election is, that I don’t think He would vote for either candidate either.
