A young lady in our Women's Bible Study group yesterday shared her frustration with where our (meaning the Church's) focus has been the past several months. It seems apparent that a lot of people have been focused on the presidential election. It's caused a great divide and has consumed so much of our attention that she feels, and I agree, that we haven't been as focused as we need to be on God.
We're allowing ourselves to be consumed with earthly things and our spiritual welfare is suffering for it. Satan is winning (IMO). He's pitting husband against wife, son against mother, neighbor against neighbor. He's filling our hearts with hatred or at the very least, resentment. He's distracting us from what's important.
I would like to encourage everyone to spend extra time in prayer this week. Instead of reading a news app, consider reading a chapter from Psalms instead. If you know someone who's feeling anxious or overwhelmed, reach out to them and be that voice of reason that they need right now. Focus on God, being His image-bearer, and a beacon of light in a world of darkness.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:2 ESV*********
