The upcoming elections are on everybody’s mind right now. We watch the news and we hear the statistics. This candidate is leading by four points or the presidents’ approval is at an all time low. I won’t get into politics for each man has a right to make up his own mind who he will vote for. What I will say is this. How do we know that any of them will keep their promises for a better tomorrow? The answer is, “We don’t.” So I will vote for the candidate of my choice but my future is in greater hands. My true vote is for Jesus Christ and the Father of us all. To our Dear old Uncle Sam, we are just a number. That’s sad. God looks beyond that. He looks deep into our soul. Do you love him?

Statistics!


 


Are we just one in a number of millions on the Earth?


Are we nothing more than math from the day of our birth?


Can our lives be subtracted as quickly as it was created?


Possibly, we are more than number related.


Perhaps, we mean more than statistics and government polls.


Let us look at our lives as a gift from the creator.


we are more than existence that here today but will be gone later.


If all we represent is a number we are nothing more than math.


This means we are incapable of feeling Gods love or recognizing his wrath.


Let the government play with their number if they feel they must.


Let us look above toward the one that we can trust.


We can trust him to know our heartbreaks and feel our pain.


Even during the sad times we know his love will remain.


He sees us as his own and he wants our soul to be saved.


He even wants to forgive us when we have misbehaved.


So, my friend I share this wonderful thought with you.


God is with you wherever you go and whatever you do.


When you do well, it is because you have followed his lead.


When you fall, he will help you stand up straight and proud indeed.


For his love for you is a never ending love.


One day we will all be with him in Heaven above.


Put not your faith in principalities but in every word that comes from the mouth of God!

I see you as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Lew. Your heart is in the right place, always sharing, always calling, always showing the love of Christ and what it means to have Him in our life. I feel our sojourn here on earth is a test run. There will be no more chances to get it right. Where we end up depends on our choice in this life. Unfortunately, many will choose the wide gate rather than the narrow one. Yes, God loves us, but He expects obedience too. A thought provoking write, Lew. Well done!

God Bless

The Word of God is sweeter than honey but Political Christians are going astray for money. I like you would prefer to believe every Word that comes from the mouth of God.

So true my friend, if only everyone or even the majority of people would pray before decisions were made...especially political ones, our world would be a better place to live. Great and inspiring write.

A banquet for the intellect, stimulating reason and thoughts on freedom and Justice is duly served in the "Statistics", composed with words of humanity and good faith. An inspiring composition scented with aroma of hope.

Healthy long life, Poet.
