The last few days have been very exciting and suspense filled to say the least. As we enter a very important time in Americas history, we are very much divided in thoughts and sentiment. As one not prone to politics it is eye opening to see just what is involved with politics. We as sinful human beings have impure motives at best. One of the biggest struggles that goes on in my own heart is to question, "Does this action glorify God?" Yet there is a battle to do what is pleasing to myself or others....then there is a decision to be made. As a Christian I am taught to walk by faith, I seek wisdom through prayer, studying God's Word and counseling with others much wiser than myself, then when all has been weighed in the balance, a decision must be made. To decide not to decide is a decision that I am altogether prone to, and therefore I am apt to abdicate that responsibility to others, thereby releasing myself from the "blame" if things go south. We can see this behavior played out in the garden of Eden when God confronted Adam.
If I am to conduct myself in a manner that will glorify God then there will come times when I will have to make decisions that are not the status quo and will be misunderstood by many, even those closest to us. This is what makes men, men of character.
