The constant roar of national debates over healthcare, impeachment, and countless other issues almost guarantees a portion of our minds is always simmering about what we believe needs to happen in this country and why it isn’t. The devil loves the angry, the bitter, and the discontent because their desires are hardly ever far from their minds. It is through those desires that he is able to convince us of anything. There will always be strife in this world and none of our lives will ever be perfect – no matter how much any politician promises it will be. Thus, we must cling to God as our rock and Jesus as our Savior because all good things flow from God and our souls find rest in Jesus. The Bible says, “Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith.” Cool heads anchored to God will prevail; hot heads anchored to politicians and worldly desires will always fail. Today, take a deep breath and remember that God is who He says He is and He is the one who is always there for us.

“Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith.” – 1 Peter 5:8-9 MSG
