Hello Pastor John!
I pray you, Barbara and the whole family is on the mend!
I have been having the same message repeatedly on my morning walks. It’s been about fellowship. I have prayed for more fellowship recently and I believe this is my lesson.
Politics* WILL kill fellowship. I sometimes watch the news feeds about politics, world issues and the antics used to sway the viewers back and forth while guiding the viewer’s beliefs. Some happy, some not, ready to fight over the same message. But none of it is true and none of it matters. What my opinion of this politician or that one will change nothing. Whether they appear good while doing bad, or evil while trying to do good. They are all instruments of God, and He doesn’t want me involved. I may like a politician that someone else sitting next to me in a meeting does not like. How can the Spirit flow freely?
Don’t be swayed by politics, neither form an opinion or thought about what is God’s business. We cannot know the heart of it all, nor the end. Me/us meddling in His business may cause me/us to stay in Egypt longer. My vote will not matter in the political race; God will put in charge who He wants; but what has my vote done to my heart, my fellowship, and most importantly, my trust that God will do the right thing?!
I pray I conveyed what the holy Ghost has given me in a way that is acceptable to God.
Love
Mark
