You, O Lord, are the greatness

What joy came with your morning?

Today I read this: Your, O Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. 1 Chronicles 29: 11

I'm taken back by the animosity found on social media. The left hates, absolutely hates, the right. The right hates, absolutely hates, the left. Maybe it's always been this way and I didn't know it because there wasn't the open social-media way of doing things.

Today the news is dominated by the Duggars and Bruce/Caityn Jenner.

Really, this is news? This isn't just news but the top of every news program/blogger?

First, I must admit I had never even heard of the Duggars before this. Now, I, like the rest of the world, face Duggars 24-7.

Jenner, well, I have no comment other than doing what he/she is doing isn't bravery. Let her/him do it in high school where it can get you killed and come back and talk to me.

By the way, the use of the pronoun he is not a judgment on my part. It's not a declaration of my feelings or thoughts on this whole thing. It's just, well, I have no words.

Today we face a world where there is no real news. Baby goats in pajamas is leading some of the social media sites this morning.

But here's the kicker: Despite all these things, God still is on his throne, he still is the power, the gory, the victory and the majesty. It doesn't matter whether we think that is the case. It is. Simply. Is.

This morning we need to step back from false news and shaky views and turn to the one who love us most. We need to bow from the right and bow from the left and both say we are less than perfect, we are less than leaders, we are sinners in need of a savior.

That is all.

No judgment of the next person, no matter their thoughts or their appearance. We love. Simply. Purely. Because, the Bible says, He first loved us.

She, he, everyone. No matter what has been done, if one turns to the Savior, one is saved.

You don't, however, get a reality show.

I think one of the key points you hit, is simply not to get caught up in the inane noise. Bruce is now Caitlyn? God bless her. The Duggars are a weird lot? God bless'em. We're all a bunch of stumbling bumbling boobs? "We're all ignorant, just about different things," as Will Rogers said almost 100 years ago? God bless us all, every one!
