Some seem to believe that Trump’s rise was a gift from God.
Of course, it happened, God’s Will be done.
But to think God meant for US to treat Trump like a Savior.
No limit to his behavior.
That he should have free rein and receive all praise.
As many have done.
Acting as if he is everything and above everyone.
Now do people think that God limited Trump to one term?
Or was that deed done by the devil?
If there was acceptance that Trump’s win was God’s Will,
How could it not be the same for Biden?
Some Religious are holding vigils.
For what are they praying?
That valid Biden votes will be tossed away?
As Trump encourages his disciples to engage in foul play.
That people will lie and cheat to place Trump on top?
And doing what’s fair and just will stop?
For ballots to be thrown away?
As if God needs a hand now to have Trump stay.
That Election officials won’t certify the fair win?
And like Peter, Republicans will keep denying?
That God will reverse Biden as the President-Elect?
Because these people, not God, knows best?
Picking and choosing, as if off a menu.
Not accepting what has ensued.
Trying to justify their give in to what supports the sin.
Isn’t that what the pagans did?
But if you stick with their original claim.
How can it be explained?
Could it be a lesson to learn?
A warning for US that –
If you thought your life was bad, it could get worse.
Appreciate what you have.
As you got a taste of what could go away.
The fragility of our democracy.
The ease at the loss of a sense of peace.
How readily there can be cause for war.
How easily we can be pulled off course.
We are prone to be blind-sided.
Take our eyes off our blessings.
And if we’re not careful, we can lose sight of God’s message.
Was this a near miss, a wake-up call?
What we take for granted, we can lose it all.
Maybe it’s that we didn’t heed – to not give in to greed.
To let what is Cesar’s be.
Highlight committing sin –
Like promoting and supporting gerrymandering.
Moving to cut-throat.
By trying to remove valid votes.
Aiming to disenfranchise those already vulnerable.
Not in line with God’s commands.
Trying to enforce their own demands.
Just as people want to choose their own reality.
They appear to also aim to have a say in what God’s Will should be.
With whose teaching does this fit?
And in whose name do they pray for all of this?
