Psalm 146:3-6  Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. (NLT)

“Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.” 

I have tweeted on numerous occasions across the years, “Politics is not ultimate reality.” I may have just done it again. As we are well into another presidential election cycle and all that goes with it, let us fondly recall who is really in charge here. 

It would be wise to vote for people who understand they are not the big dogs they pretend to be. It would be wise to remember that dogs carry fleas. 

Instead of placing undue measures of faith in a politician or two who will immediately have half the country resisting him or her, trust God who made the world and everything in it. 

Instead of trusting imperfect people to accomplish more than their character will bear, trust God who keeps every promise forever. 

Joyful lives focus on ultimate reality, not political parties. 

Joyful lives focus on who determines ultimate outcomes and not those who will grab the reins of power for the next few years. 

When the news media focuses more and more on powerful people attempting to become even more powerful, focus instead on God whose power never wanes, whose promises never fail, and who holds our ultimtate destiny in his hands. 

These are powerful thoughts to move us forward into a week where we get to display what we believe and who we trust in every decision we make.

I will trust God who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, who keeps every promise forever.

Our Father, you made it all. You own it all. You have the final say about it all. How now shall we live in light of these truths? Empower us to live what we say we believe today and in the week ahead. Amen.

Numbers 9:17, 18 Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle.

Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders,
but the real danger is wickedness within the city.
Everything is falling apart;
threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.
