Put It All Together    

Tampa     Realpolitik     Ubiquitous     MAGA     Protests   

   What do you get? 

   Yes, the one and only is headed to Tampa tonight, first to attend a roundtable on workforce development. Then he will address an adoring crowd at the state fairgrounds, while protesters enjoy their moment in a free-speech zone.

   Yes, we like the idea of making America (relatively) great, especially coming from a president who is not in the oval office to enrich himself. 

   But, when Air Force One rises into the night sky, it and its No. 1 passenger will never attain the height, depth and breadth of the One who spoke everything into existence, and it stood firm. 

   To put things in perspective: 

The Lord foils the plans of the nations; 

He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

No king is saved by the size of his army;

no warrior escapes by his great strength.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him.

We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

Psalm 33

   While we sing God Bless America, we might want to start blessing God. 
He is not on our side. (See Joshua 5:14.) Our first pledge of allegiance is to him...if we want to be blessed. MABA.
