"So, Is God Republican or Democrat?"


Is God so confused that he tells one Christian one thing and another Christian something different?
 
It would seem that is the case because some Christians are convinced the Democratic candidate is the right choice, others are convinced that the Republican candidate is the right choice and still others are convinced that a 3rd party candidate is the right choice.
 
Did God speak to all these people 3 different things? Is the Father unsure of what he wants?
 
Or maybe he is giving Christians different messages to make things look good at the polls or perhaps to make things more exciting for the viewers?
 
God is not confused...we are. And guess who is the author of confusion?
 
Father wants us to humble ourselves and pray...Satan wants us to be divided thinking "we make the difference".
 
Rather it is God who makes the difference...not us. In the book of Job chapter 40 the Lord speaks to Job about His Majesty and power. God states many things that he has done in creation and then he says to Job if you can explain all this to me THEN I will also confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
 
But of course Job cannot and likewise his own right hand could not save him...and so it is true today. Our own right hand cannot save us. Our voting will not save us...our political involvement cannot save us...our making of laws and placing of judges cannot save us....but God can.
 
If we are willing to pray and humble ourselves he can save us...but we may be too busy with politics or entertainment or work or relationships or any other distraction that the enemy may entice us with...but if we pray, truly pray then the Father may choose to save us.
 
Yet our own right hand will not save us and cannot save us.
 
Is God confused? Are we really all hearing something different and yet saying it is the Father? If so it is not God.
 
God wants us to turn to him and not to the arm of the flesh which is politics.
 
Our own right hand cannot and will not save us.
 
This is what I think.
