Russell Moore, Dean of Theology at Southern Seminary, has a really good blog post about conspiracies these days, specifically about recent political events. While I am not totally caught up in any of those, I have to admit that some of it has my attention, together with that degree of fears and worries about what’s going to happen in this country over the next several years. Here are the last few paragraphs:

Our God tells us through the prophet Isaiah: “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. But the Lord of hosts, him you shall regard as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread” (Isa 8:12-13).

We shouldn’t fear the Bushes or the Clintons or the Rockefellers or the Hiltons, whatever they are or aren’t up to. We should fear the One who’ll one day uncover all our whispered conversations, all our forwarded emails, all our hateful thoughts. There’s nothing conspiratorial about that.

I especially appreciate the verse from Isaiah brought back to my mind. God is in charge and will look out for His people in the long run.
