God Uses All Kinds Of People
I have heard criticism of Christians because they support Trump. That is what the Bible tells us to do, so I have no problem with that. I have made the statement that God gave us Trump, but he also gave us Obama. When you say something like that immediately you will have someone on one side of the political fence or the other side object. How can God use Trump if you're a left-leaning Christian? Or a right-leaning Christian will object how could God use someone like Obama? When we go through the Bible, we see some good kings and some bad kings. God put them there for a season. I think there was one king that was only king for seven days. Hezekiah had 15 years added to God's plan when Hezekiah prayed. I am reminded of the story of the poor widow woman who's cupboard was bare. She was a Christian and she prayed for God to supply her needs. She was praying at an open window and a young devilish type man heard her pray. He thought I will play a trick on her and went and bought her some groceries and set it on her doorstep and rang the doorbell and hid around the corner. The poor widow lady comes to the door and she immediately thanks God for answering her prayer. The devilish young man comes from around the corner and says God didn't do that, I did. The poor widow lady says God still did it even if he sent it by the hand of a devil. Her prayer was answered. I believe George W. Bush was a Christian and a good President but I also believe he was more of a swamp creature, attuned to the political nature of his job as President than say like Trump. Trump is not a political negotiator, he will negotiate with whatever way works. Political maneuvering or not so political, whatever it takes to get the job done. There are all kinds of people. If you read the DISC system, there are "d" personality types, "i" personality types, "s" personality types and even "c" types. A book I was reading tried to define Biblical characters that we are all familiar with like Joseph, Paul, Peter, John Mark, and others. The book gives examples of why they thought they were that personality type. People are all kinds and can be a mix of different personality types. It is like a pine tree forest. Here are all these pine trees and they all look alike but yet each one is different. No two are exactly identical. They tell us Identical twins are not identical, they at least have different fingerprints if nothing else. I guess their DNA is like 99.99 the same. The point being we do not have to be cookie-cutter Christians. God has a purpose for each of us using our bent for his purposes, even President Trump. So I do not have a problem supporting Trump. Like many others, I wish he would stay off twitter, but I still think God gave us Trump. Then again he wouldn't be Trump without twitter. God bless, LVZ.
