PEACE AMID POLITICAL CHAOS

November 04, 2024

Adapted from a sermon by George Wright, Senior Pastor, Shades Mountain Baptist Church, Birmingham, AL

 “Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.” 
Psalm 33: 3-4

How do we respond to political uncertainty?

What do we do in the face of a chaotic election full of strong opinions, controversial statements, and polarizing views? How do we respond when both candidates have such glaring character flaws and moral deficiencies? Are we without hope? Is joy even a possibility?

Well, I believe it’s actually possible to find true joy– even in the midst of an unstable political climate.

During the chaos of potential political transitions, people hitch their wagons to a political ideal or establishment they believe will provide the answer and give them hope for a brighter tomorrow. The more passionate people are about their candidate or party, the more frustrated they become with those who disagree. The angry shouting and frustrated chatter seem to get louder every day. As a result, many of us have seen a relationship bruised in the crossfire. Maybe it was due to specific political opinions or how they were communicated – maybe through harsh rants on social media.

The question I have for the Christ-follower is this: are we shouting in despair and anger – or are we shouting in joy?

It all comes down to what we believe about hope. Is our hope found in a political candidate or in the King of kings and Lord of lords?

According to Scripture, God offers us peace and joy in the process, even when it appears hopeless.

It all depends on where you’re looking. So, what will you choose to do in this election season?
