Over the past little time I have been suffering from a real anger about the elections and the way things went. I was feeling so disappointed in the people of this nation and the way they voted for a party that I believe has and will ruin this nation. I was so upset on Election Night that I was ready to pack up and leave the country. My husband said "and exactly where would you go?" ... but of course I love this country.
When I was having a little complain to God about it, okay so I was having a big whinge to God about it, as I had asked Him not to give us the government we deserve but to have mercy on us ... He said to me "Where is your citizenship?"
So this morning in my time with God I decided to look up Citizenship in my bible and find that verse about my citizenship being in heaven. I also found the whole Chapter of Philippians 3 is a great read that put my mind back in right order.
Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Understanding this helps me to put things in context and realize like Joseph did that I may be stuck in Egypt but only God can put me in a position to make the most of it.
So hopefully now I will alter my attitude and remember .. The World Needs My Footprints ... How beautiful are the feet of those....... Romans 10:15
Am I the only one having these struggles?
Love Jen .... the World Needs Your Footprints
So true....so sad that so many will vote for a God less woman. So thankful to be able to lay my troubles on the lord and leave them with him. He takes away my burdens and leaves me feeling refreshed and renewed. God Bless Jen!
