There are two events happening on different sides of the Atlantic. In the USA, the sacked director of the FBI, James Coney, is giving testimony about his conversations with Trump.
The left thing there will be an obstruction of justice demonstrated and proven. It does not look like it is going that way.
In England, there is an election on, and the left are trying to get people out to vote to stop a Tory landslide. Not sure how that is going to go, but it looks like some of the tweets have an element of hubris.
This is not wise. It is better to put yourself in a position of lowliness, and remember from which you came.
1When you have come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, 2you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. 3You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, “Today I declare to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD swore to our ancestors to give us.” 4When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, 5you shall make this response before the LORD your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. 6When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, 7we cried to the LORD, the God of our ancestors; the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. 8The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; 9and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God and bow down before the LORD your God. 11Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the LORD your God has given to you and to your house.
Luke 18:9-14
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
There is a correction to our overwhelming pride. The sense that our feelings trump any sense of decency. That there will never be a correction in our lifetimes.
It is far better to reform before you end up on the losing side, and without the means to change. For no political or human system lasts forever. There will always be a correction.
This is not the time for pride. It is a time for cries of mercy. For we are all sinners.
But it is also a time of war. And we must trust in Lord Sabaoth, who defeated Jericho through miraculous means because His people were faithful, prayed and trusted in Him; we must do likewise, bend the knee, let go of pride, and ask Him to allow us to be vessels to help enact His will on earth, as it is done in heaven.
