"Only one life, 'twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last."

O People

Why do the nations rage so furiously together?
I love quoting Handel's Messiah on mornings after upsets.
The Donald is all the rage. We have Turkey, ISIS, Liberals, Globalists, Terrorists  raging.
So much rage.
The opening verse encourages us to fix our eyes on something eternal when the summer months heat up with human turmoil.
Where is your anchor?
Where is your trust?
Conservative Christians, like me, have learned over these last Obama years that rage and fear have no place in the fellowship of saints.
All believers are counted saints by the blood of Christ ---despite their human nature.
So relax, dear ones. Spread the Gospel. Do your civic duty.
Live quietly.
Don't worry.
Trump or Hillary, equally unattractive options, are completely in God's hands.
The nations bring judgment on themselves by rejecting the Creator. We who are filled with the Holy Spirit can face the times with sweetness.
We are called for such a time as this, even as Esther was for Jews in Babylon.
This is our Babylon.
Rise above.
