God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.

God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.

We are Jesus Christ's; we belong to him. But even more, we are increasingly him. He moves in and commandeers our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. We sense his rearranging: debris into the divine, pig's ear into silk purse. He repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. Little by little, a new image emerges.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.

God leads us. God will do the right thing at the right time. And what a difference that makes.
