Good post.

Getting too caught up in earthly kingdoms is foolish. Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

God is still on His throne. He can't be impeached, and He isn't going to resign.

That's my King.

Thank you. I like your analogy; it so easy to get consumed and caught up with what is happening here. And, when you step back and look at it from the perspective a timeless, holy God, you recognize the vanity of it all. THIS is temporal, THIS is shifting sand, THIS is the vapor in the wind. Therefore, I choose to deliberately shift my priorities toward making disciples and glorifying my Lord. God says in His word that we are to count adversity as gain and blessing; I think that this adversity is a wonderful opportunity for believers to realign their priorities. Please don’t think that I am throwing in the towel! That is not what being a Christian is about. No, I think it is about remembering its place of importance in the scheme of things—Christ first, and everything else a distant second.
