Where Does Your Faith Lie?

   The presidential election is coming up this year...Duh! Everybody knows that. You can't go on any social media site without seeing at least a dozen posts about somebody's political stance. You can't read the news without hearing about the latest debate or speech. I get that it's important, but to be honest, I'm already sick of it...

   Let me start out by saying I do believe that we have an obligation to appoint ourselves a leader. Now, that being said, I do not believe we are supposed to obsess over it. If you have a favorite candidate, great! You have that right. But don't put your faith in a person. There is One more powerful, more worthy of our faith, than any other.

Faith in Man

Do not put your trust in princes, (or) in human beings, who cannot save.

-Psalm 146:3

  We do this. We pick one candidate and basically put them on a pedestal. We watch all of their speeches and debates, and hang off their every word. In our eyes they can do no wrong. We tell ourselves and everybody else "They're our only hope...The only one who can save this country!" Really? What does that say about your faith in God? Doesn't He deserve our faith more than these people?
   God is the only one who can truly save us. I don't know about you, but I have never seen any of the candidates turn an entire river into blood or raise somebody from the dead. God is so powerful, and yet we'd rather put our faith in a human being.

   Now I'm not saying don't vote or don't support any of the candidates. Please do. I'm saying trust God more. He will take care of us.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans.

-Psalm 118:8
