Are You Holding Your Breath
The eve of election day Iraq, and it seems all the News is pointing to the outcome as an indication of how we fared in our own Election. Will the choice we make be the right one! At least in regards to the immediate future of our troops, and expenditures, and of those who have died for this cause.
Puting aside who we individually voted for, we are all in this together, for better or worse. It may be the fix of the situation ( at least temporarily ) that leads to an end, or it may be the bust that involves more disapointment for the future of there Nation and Ours.
I am not qualified to make a speculation on this, although I have read a lot of reports. The evidence is not at all conclusive, either Pro or Con. The opinions range from very good, to very bad. We all as mankind wish for an expedient resolution to the conflict.
This is significant, a whole nation, and people lives will be altered by this event. As a Christian I know that in the wisdom of God the event will not be a suprise, but that will not mean that it was either the way God wanted it, or that it will was his doing. Otherwise freewill is not freewill. Then God would be unjust in holding mankind accountable for his doing.
The workings of man in these matters will not circumvent or stop God's ultimate plan and purpose for Iraq. That is His advantage, and that He is eternal, who will live longer, us or Him? Seeing that the plan of God will be accomplished, either now or later, either by our accomplishments, helping or hindering, His ways are perfect and Righteous.
That doesn't mean that we have no work to do, it implies that unless we do what we know to do, the purposes of God will be given to a later generation, who will cooperate in doing his will. It boggeles the mind to think that God wants our help, and without us the church he will do nothing. In light of this we need do diligence and self examination to be sure we are in the right with God, and not find ourselves opposing Him.
