Decisions, decisions, decisions! - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Daniel 2:21-22 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Truly we are living in remarkable times! Today is probably one of the most significant days of our lifetime, as Americans go to the polls and decide the future of the United States. Of course, voting is important, but let's be sure we know what we're voting for!

In 1938, Kenneth Simmons, a democratic mayor, wanted to prove a point. So he hauled a mule, that he named Boston Curtis, down to the courthouse, and placed its hoof print on all the documents necessary to run for political office. Although Boston Curtis never ran a political campaign, the citizens of Milton, Washington voted for Boston Curtis – not realizing that they had actually voted for a MULE! Simmons wanted to demonstrate that voters often "know not whom they support." I would say he proved his point.

The decisions made today will affect the world for years to come. But we should never lose sight of the fact that Yahweh sets up and removes kings according to His perfect will and purpose; so whatever the outcome of today's contest, let's be sure that the King of all Kings sits on the throne of our hearts, and that EVERY outcome in this world is under His sovereign will, for our good!

I fear the Americans have voted in a hundred times worse than a mule and that with the inevitable boost to anti-Christian liberal philosophy and political correctness that Obama's victory will bring to the USA it may not be possible to criticise the new president for fear of being called a racist. It would have been better to have voted in an actual mule and then devolved federal powers to the local states, letting the people actually rule themselves for a change.

If Yahweh has indeed permitted this to happen, as we must conclude, then I believe it can only be for chastisement until (hopefully) a reasonable number of people, capable of effecting real political reform in your country, can come to their senses.
