Forming a More Perfect Union in A Imperfect World

I took last week off from the computer. I reflected on the past three months and how the world has changed. I also set some goals for myself. When I came back online yesterday I was unpleasantly hit with the chaos that is happening all over the country. Seattle is a war zone with a new country (so they say) set up over six city blocks. In Philadelphia we have the makings of another new country (so they say) set up over on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. I could be frightened right now about what's happening, but surprisingly I'm not.

I believe that this is all part of God's plan. He's allowing people to wallow in their own filth and create their own destruction. God said there would be consequences for wicked and perverse actions. We are seeing the results of many government officials' wicked and perverse actions. I get that some are really scared and intimidated by the mob. Yet it was only a month or so ago that the mayor and city council made some really stupid moves in regards to the police and broke laws that have been on the books for a very long time. I admittedly am very reluctant to even take a chance at going to work downtown anymore. It has become a very dangerous place.

It got me thinking too. How do we form a more perfect union in this imperfect world? Is what the founders of the United States of America said about this country even possible anymore? I've tried to make sense of what's happening, but none of it makes any sense at all. We are not really united in what we believe anymore. Our ideology has been skewered until we don't have a clue what's right or wrong. My personal research into the time of the last great pandemic is telling in that there was no anarchy or riots in the streets during that time period. In fact there was some tremendous growth, which seems strange when you look at the newspaper reports of that time period. People were dying by the thousands of the Spanish Flu. There was restrictions like the masks, but people were unified in their beliefs. They had a stronger and more solid belief in God. They believed that church was a place where people could go to be with God and learn more about him. They had a strong moral code that was able to resist the changes that were taking place back then. They believed in the United States of America. They were ready to form that more perfect union in their imperfect world.

Yes, I have to believe that God still has his hands on us. He is preparing his children right now for the coming battle. I have to believe that he will use us as he is using our President to bring the full called ones home.
