One Leader; One Hope; One Strength

“The Lord is the light of my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1

The election of 2014 is old news. It happened weeks ago meaning that in our modern culture it is actually ancient news. Some people are exultant about the results and others are saddened. This is the problem with placing the hope of our life in earthly things. When Barak Obama was elected president in 2008 many people hoped that he was the “savior” of our nation, the great unifier of the American people. Since that time his popularity has waned to very low ebb and he is viewed by many as the greatest divider of our nation in modern history.

The psalmist had his sights set a great deal higher than the American electorate. He saw that God was the only hope of salvation and the only strength that would last. When we set our sight on man we will always be disappointed. We all have feet of clay. God alone is the hope of His people. Leaders will come and go. Some will be good and some very bad. God will never change and He is always in ultimate control. He is to be the sole focus for the believer for our hope and security in this age and the next. Whatever may happen because of earthly leaders, let us steadfastly keep our eyes on God, the strength of our lives and the assurance of our salvation.

Dear Father, Forgive us for trusting too much in man and too little in You. You have given us Jesus Christ for our salvation and the true strength of our lives each day. Amen.
