Tomorrow is Election Day, and next week is Veterans Day. It’s always a time of year when we think carefully about our public servants, and celebrate their sacrifices. This week I was reminded of a quote by Dr. David Livingstone (a Scottish medical missionary to Africa in the 19th century). I pray that The Spirit and The Word will adjust my thinking to match more closely this sentiment:
“Forbid that we should ever consider the holding of a commission from the King of kings a sacrifice, so long as other men esteem the service of an earthly government as an honor.”
Philipians 2:5-8
