Wow, are things not crazy in America? We have Presidents, present and past, holding onto classified documents. And you have to wonder why? Is it to benefit them financially or to give them some sort of leverage over other people and businesses? With the attitudes of dominance and control echoing throughout the world, it would make you think that Napoleon must have come out of his grave to egg them on. “You must keep all of the secret documents and then plot your takeover!” I can see the stalwart short fellow shouting his commands. While our leaders have their bulging eyes fixated on Napoleon and their tongues hanging out, dripping, like a St. Bernard dog in 102 degree weather! Not much has changed since Napoleon tried to take over the world or Hitler either.
Talk about creepy control issues, China just flew a surveillance balloon over America. And it was not the first time. I thought they had an advanced satellite imagery system. So what is up with the balloon? Maybe they have lied about how advanced their technological systems are, just like when they say they want to be our friends. I think they want to be our friends after they conquer our country. Our world has gone crazy for dominance over other countries and people. One-upping has a new meaning with the advancing of strategic power plays. And, the winner takes all, including you and me too.
So, what can we do about it? I have learned that we can only control our reactions and actions in any given situation, not someone else. God tells us in Proverbs 19:21, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Can you imagine the schemes, agendas, and self-serving thoughts which pass through their minds on a given day? Think about your mind. I know my mind can jump on the crazy train sometimes! Wheee, and what a ride it can be at times.
So, I try to give my mind to God and ask Him to guide my ways. And when my mind does jump the rails, I try to reroute the thoughts. It does not mean I always listen or follow His advice, which I should. But it keeps you off the crazy train if you do! At least, I try. While the world is becoming more chaotic, I will trust God. Knowing that if this is to be the end of times events, including wars, natural occurrences, and man being man, God is in control. If I were to lose my life, I would gain my soul and will be holding Jesus’ hand. Fear is not an option for me. As for you, you have to decide if fear is an option for you. Can you admit God is in control and keep going forward with your own life?
When I read about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the confidential documents that Trump and Biden had forgotten to seal away, my response has become, “so what.” They do not affect my family or our everyday life. And I certainly can’t give each of these men a “dressing down” over their stupidity. Worry about and control what you can hold in your life. And the next time a spy balloon comes your way, ensure they get a shot of your best side!
God Bless You!
