I've got a political blog. But this is a spiritual issue related to it, so I feel it belongs here.
I've been frustrated rather than passionate about politics for the past decade. I don't like either side, really, and have been angry that people are growing more and more resistant to reasonable compromise. With the advent of the internet, there seem to have been more political opinions written since 1995 than in all of human history combined. I can see a dozen per day just among my friends on Facebook! Yet there is actually less sharing of information, less dialogue, less cooperation than I've ever seen in my life. Everyone's shouting and no one is listening - except to people who already agree with them.
Several times over the course of the past months I've had to remind myself that no one becomes leader of a nation without it passing through God's hands. I've tried to step into online arguments (some of which I started) and say, "It's not the end of the world if it turns out differently than you'd like. God outranks them all." Political parties, systems of government, and economic ideologies are - ultimately - just "chariots and horses."
Let's remember that the whole Earth will be ruled by a loving and benevolent absolute monarchy one day and is under its care right now.
