Sunday Evening Thought

I'm probably not going to get any restful sleep until I do what I was told.  This past election has divided the church more than ever.  And race seems to be the dividing line.  I won't lie and say I'm happy about the results.  I might even admit that I'm fearful of what is going to happen.  A lot of the division is that apparently God is only concerned about 2 issues.  But if that's the case, then why did he need the 66 books that are contained in the Bible to get his message across.  Some people are even condemning those that choose to protest.  And that let's me know what you really think of me and people like me.   I'm sure they won't admit it, but they sound like the same  racist people that were against Blacks protesting in the 50's and 60's.  And the church was a big part of that movement.  Yet today when we're suppose to have racial equality, things have been spiraling backwards.  But one hope that I do have is in Almighty God.  I might not know why this is happening, but I have to squash the fear that tries to creep up and believe that He knows what he's doing.  Do I have forgiveness ?  Yes.  Not because I want to in my flesh, but because I am commanded to do so.  But because I have that forgiveness, does not mean I am required to allow you into my inner circle nor does that mean I need to support you financially. Am I still a work in progess?  Lord, Yes, And that's why I thank Him every day that He gives me what I don't deserve, and He doesn't give me what I do deserve.  So all I can do at this point is put my complete trust in Him and keep it moving.
