‘For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.’ Proverbs 2:6

Is the United States election over yet (mild sarcasm)? All I have heard in the last few months, weeks, days, is Trump or Clinton propaganda. We all know now that Trump is now the president elect after easily winning the vote of the American people.

Living in the United Kingdom, there is a saying with regards to the ‘special’ relationship that British Prime Minister has with the American President. It reads something like ‘when America sneezes, the UK catches a cold.’ An example of this is when the then UK Prime Minister Tony Blair promised to support President George W Bush when in went to war in Iraq. A price for which he is still paying for now both in reputation and in the legal courts.

It is easy to be swept along by events happening, in my case, so far away, but the media is totally saturated with everything Trump does or says. The conspiracies theorists are also at it over analysing every movement.

My newspaper, the bible, gives me some excellent advice to put this into perspective.

Matthew 24:6 ‘And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.’ Trump can say all he wants to but it is about Gods agenda not his.

Psalm 47:7 ‘For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.’ Maybe as Christians we should spend more time talking about God than politicians.

My final thoughts:

Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.’
