I don't know what's up and what's down anymore. So, Chad's president was killed. MSM says he has been in office since gaining the presidency by coup in 1990. I immediately assume that the opposite of whatever MSM says is true. Does anyone know – was the takedown of Chad's president a checkmark for the good guys or for the bad guys?
I WISH President Trump would let go of his inflated pride. I absolutely believe that God called Trump for such as time as these – just as God called Moses to lead the Israelites to the promised land. But why did God not allow Moses to take them into the land? Because of PRIDE.
Rather than giving God the Glory for the miracle of the 2016 election and the miracle of success of his first term in office, Trump puffed himself up in pride. "I did this and I did that. Nobody else could have done what I did" etc, etc. He is still pridefully claiming credit for the vaccines in the same way.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Regarding Moses: Nearing the end of their forty years of wandering, the Israelites came to the Desert of Zin. There was no water, and the community turned against Moses and Aaron. Moses and Aaron went to the tent of meeting and prostrated themselves before God. God told Moses and Aaron to gather the assembly and speak to the rock. Water would come forth. Moses took the staff and gathered the men. Then, seemingly in anger, Moses said to them,“Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”Then Moses struck the rock twice with his staff (Numbers 20:10–11). Water came from the rock, as God had promised. But God immediately told Moses and Aaron that, because they failed to trust Him enough to honor Him as holy, they would not bring the children of Israel into the Promised Land (verse 12).
I also thank God for President Trump. But we are in a spiritual battle. Jesus (God) is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Heb 13:8) We can learn from God's dealings with Moses that when God works miracles, God wants the glory.
I put my "God glasses" on (ie I try to see through God's eyes) when I look at the happenings going on in the world.
God bless
I have probably been here longer than you have. The fact that God has given me eyes to see is completely unrelated to my time as anon.
In fact, I do have a lawn. 5 beautiful acres in the middle of the city that God has blessed me with. Landscapers here mowing and trimming even as I type.
May God bless you as well, anon.
