“From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth…Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;”
- Psalm 76:8-10
God doesn’t need healthcare. He doesn’t depend on the congress of the United States to take care of Him. He was not up in heaven wringing His hands last night hoping that the healthcare bill would pass. If you had listened to some of our legislators or watched their behavior you might that the statements above are untrue and that they are god.
What they are willfully ignorant of, you don’t have to be. Notice the passage of scripture I have quoted above. It puts the vote on healthcare and all other government decisions into perspective.
God is sovereign. That means that he rules over all the affairs of man. He sees the past, present, and future as if they were one. According to this passage, God even causes the anger of man to praise Himself. Man’s irrational, unexpected, and ridiculous anger is accounted for in God’s sovereign plan. He is God we are not.
Is the healthcare legislation not good for the country, yes. Does it provide money for abortion, yes. Should we do everything we can to fight this bill as it is signed into law, yes with every lawful means at our disposal.
Before we begin to tout the power of the people and the republican party to save us from this bill, let’s remember who is All-powerful, All-mighty, and whose will is the greatest vote of all. God is sovereign and any president, politician, or party that thinks that they are in control are deceived and deserving of pity.
If this passage makes you angry, then be angry. God is praised by that too.
