Who is responsible?

Every head of every nation on the face of the earth is appointed to their post by the Lord. That leader is appointed by Him so that he will always be accountable and answerable to the Lord! People foolishly believe that if they voted a man or woman into office, or if he/she obtained it by force, that person would be answerable to the voter, or at best autonomous! Not so!!

After obtaining the office in whatever method, THEN the lord supernaturally does the appointing so that He would remain in charge. I find comfort in knowing that since the Lord appointed that leader (even if I voted him in), the Lord could "take him out" at will and could also force his hand on behalf of His people! Should we be the unfortunate recipient of a "mistake" for a president, God will appoint him/her and will rule in our nation.

One way God chastens His people is through giving them horrible leaders. We must pray and vote and tell the Lord we trust Him above our government or our human leaders. Only He knows the heart and the future of everyone running for office. Only He knows what they will do after being elected. Let's trust HIM!

Even though this is true, we MUST still vote from our information according to what we want in a leader. By the way, when you get e-mails spreading fear about the Supreme Court appointments, remember that "The Supreme Court" isn't!!!

Be responsible! jack
