Seeking higher ground…

“And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness and Your praise all day long.” Psalm 35:28

The divisiveness of the upcoming presidential has affected many both inwardly and outwardly. As a Christian, we are told to speak in love. However, when communicating on social media, as it’s an incomplete medium, we are not able to fully express facial expressions or tones of voice. It makes for opportunity to misidentify someone’s just intentions and allows the devil to insert himself as a force of reckoning.

So in attempting to be a Christian apologist or politically astute, sometimes the path to take on Facebook is to get off the road. If our righteous anger is misplaced or misunderstood and comes off in an unloving manner, then we need to redirect our speech to a safer medium and ask for God’s forgiveness. As God knows our heart, we trust that He will direct us to higher ground.

As God’s word tells us in Matthew 10:14 and elsewhere in the N.T., “Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.” 

Let us seek a better way and a higher ground. And move on…
