God does want us to trust in people in order to love and be free of the world's grip, but we have to remember that even that trust will be broken. God gives us his word to fall on when the world starts to slip away and people act bratty. Right now, I am so sick to my stomach over the police shootings around the country for the last year. I realize police shootings have been happening for a while now but right now, it hurts. People blame politics, they blame the media, they blame each other, but the reality is we are so broken as a people and until we turn to the one who created us, we will only continue to see things get worse.
My Christian friends, I am worried about you. I am worried you don't see this for what it is. I am worried that you, too, are blaming media and politics. I am worried you aren't turning to God right now and praying for this nation. Now, I know most of you pray for your kids, for your family, for your schools and those things around you but the prayer we need right now is that we are open to sharing the Gospel with everyone we meet. It isn't about changing a policy or changing a person's political beliefs, it is about changing our hearts to accept the one who created us. Get out and share the Gospel like you never have and that is when you will see a change in the world.
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
