Election carnage in perspective

http://www.kingsmeadow.com/blogger.html

In the aftermath of yesterday's elections, Dr. Grant gives a valuable perspective on the relative historical insignificance of politics and the immense, world-changing importance of ordinary life in families, communities, and churches.  While the change of power from one party to another deserves our care, attention, and worldview-based activism (it will certainly affect us, and perhaps our children), what matters most is the covenantal faithfulness of Christians in the midst of an insane, rebellious world.  A covenantal Christian's multi-generational perspective reaches far beyond the machinations of party politics; our God is one who is faithful to a thousand generations of those who love him, long after the greatest power shifts of our time resolve into a faint mark on the canvas of His providence.

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chron. 7:14
