This week is a test for our nation. The divisions are real and the stakes are high. Our nation continues to struggle with race, COVID-19, jobs, and the economy. Trust in our elected officials has eroded. Trust in our traditional institutions has eroded along with trust in the government as a whole. Even the visible Church itself has fallen on opposite sides of the political spectrum suggesting that there are other influences than just our faith in God concerning these matters. When I hear or read the news on the different opinions about where we are as a nation I am amazed sometimes how we make it sound so simple as it relates to the conclusions we settle on. For instance, one newspaper shared in it’s editorial why it thought that a particular candidate was more qualified than the other. The newspaper based its opinion mostly on economical, tax related, and financial reasons. It didn’t mention morality, COVID-19, race, trust, voting rights issues, justice reform, or any of the things that many see as very important to take into consideration in these matters. Why is that? From the perspective of the newspaper what concerned them was what affects business which is understandable. From the perspective of an African American mother though, raising her teenage son, she’s concerned that her son survives an encounter with the police, or if he will become the next George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery. We can understand that a person’s perspective depends on their upbringing, their own personal experiences in life, whether they own their own business, or are a middle-income worker working from 7-7 or if they have a job at all. It’s not a simple diagnosis or a one size fits all type of approach to the complicated issues that affect the lives of the citizens of our great country. The leader who takes into consideration and is compassionate concerning all of these issues affecting the people will be the most prepared to lead.
