CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 6, 2020
AS WE WAIT FOR THE FINAL VOTE COUNT, THE LAWSUITS AND THE EVENTUAL WINNER DECLARED, HERE’S A SERIOUS QUESTION: WHO IS SOVEREIGN OVER IT ALL? IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS, YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.
WHILE SATAN IS THE TEMPORARY RULER OF THE WORLD, GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVERALL AND NOTHING HAPPENS OUTSIDE HIS WILL. SO IT IS WRONG – EVEN IDOLATROUS – TO SUGGEST THAT GOD SHOWS UP ONLY WHEN REPUBLICANS ARE ELECTED PRESIDENT. HE IS SOVEREIGN OVERALL. I LOVE HOW HE REPEATS HIS SOVEREIGNTY TO THE PROPHET EZEKIAL, WHO ALSO SPEAKS OF IDOLS WE HOLD IN OUR HEARTS.
IDOLS ARE NOT JUST STATUES, THE MOON AND STARS SOME IN THE ANCIENT WORLD WORSHIPPED. THEY CAN ALSO BE OTHER THINGS, INCLUDING POLITICS AND THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD.
I HEARD A MARVELOUS PRE-ELECTION SERMON, REMINDING US WE ARE SOJOURNERS, MOVING THROUGH A WORLD THAT IS NOT OUR HOME TO ONE THAT IS OUR ETERNAL HOME. THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE DON’T HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND PRIVILEGES BEFORE GOD WHILE WE ARE HERE, BUT PRIORITIES ARE KEY. NO MATTER THE ELECTION OUTCOME, REMEMBER “HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS.” AND THAT INCLUDES YOU AND ME. I’M CAL THOMAS.
