Random Thoughts
February is the month to remember Presidents and Sweethearts. You wouldn’t think they have much in common but in many respects they actually do. Both are a love-hate relationship. Presidents you either love them or hate them. And who hasn’t had their heart broken? The President holds the highest office in the land. A sweetheart holds your heart and at times your hand. The President is often referred to as the most powerful man in the world. But, I have seen some very foolish things done in the name of love.
Presidents pursue the office making innumerable promises. Sweethearts vow loyalty, faithfulness and to be true. Both often leave us disappointed. Scripture teaches us to love one another. It is beneficial to the gospel for us to dwell in unity and peace. Husbands are to love their wives and wives are to love their husbands. Government is divinely put into place to maintain peace and to strike fear in the hearts of rebels. Citizens are to respect authority and to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. More importantly, as Christians, we are to pray for all men and especially for kings and those in authority. Just maybe, what we get in life is the result of a failure to pray.
Presidents and Sweethearts are mammoth decisions. Both are life-altering and should not be taken lightly, lest you find yourself living with a huge mistake. Only God knows things perfectly. His ways are not our ways and He does not see as men see. It’s time for the people of God to pray. We must learn to seek the face of God in all things, but especially in those things that affect the hearts of all men.
