The Vanity of Humanity Psalm 2

While we are in the midst of a political election process, we watch the proceedings with a certain amount of frustration at the character of the presumptive nominees. The media and all the television personalities are commenting, making jokes, insulting the contenders as well as making their predictions. 

As a follower of Christ we must remember that ..."He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them."  We are in the world, but are certainly not of this world, and as we consider our meager options as to who we will vote for, let us remember that Jesus is Lord, and all things are in His mighty and just hand. We may be a bit confused amid all the activity and myriad of opinions we hear each day, but one thing is clear- the vanity of humanity will not thwart the good and perfect will of God to be completed in His due time.  Pray for our nation, for the church in particular, that we will repent of our own sins, to see clearly the real need of our nation. May God deliver us from the vanity of humanity.
