Democratic National Convention on HOPE

So, I know I need to be more knowledgeable in politics and what is going on in our country. Therefore, I spent some time last night watching the Democratic National Convention, and I think I now know why politics urks me. Hillary kept claiming that in order to give HOPE to the hardworking and deserving people of America, we must elect Obama and not let another Republican into the White House. I am not going to get into a debate on Republican vs. Democrat or McCain vs. Obama, but I will say something on their skewed idea of HOPE. How dare they say we can place our trust in them, mere humans. They will fail us, and therefore, it is not true hope. HOPE is placed in someone or something that can be trusted to come through for us. That is precisely why we can hope. This world is sinful and we can't make it any better. Only by God's good grace is His hand still upon this world, and that is the only reason why life is good right now. Also, we are not good people. We don't deserve anything good. However, because of God's great love for us, we can have eternal life with Him, which by the way, we don't deserve.

I guess it is hard for me to listen to politicians claim they can make life better, easier and less evil. And I hate when they try and give people "feel good" speeches just to gain votes. What we need is someone to truly rely on God and focus our eyes on the true source of HOPE. Because then and only then, this world will get better.

And the kicker of it all, is that they are slamming their opponents, saying all sorts of mean things about each other. What kind of true leader behaves in that matter. Just stick to how you can benefit this country....we don't need to take a ride on memory lane to Junior High. Been there and done that.

Just interesting. Hillary had great ideals. And it is easy to make a well-written speeh in front of people who love you. However, God and His Son Christ, need to be the main focus of all of this. That is why the country is where it is at today....they have lost their focus. So, on a HOPEFUL note, please spend some time thinking on these words of the Lord.

"For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth. By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You." Psalm 71:5-6

There is no need to become overwhelmed or anxious about the upcoming election. God is in control. He will be with us. We must simply HOPE and trust in Him, and give Him continual praise.
