God Controls Our Ports

I have been giving a lot of thought lately to who should have control of our ports and what this means to my security. I have to admit that when the whole controversy started about an Arab country controlling our ports I was really angry. I’m not angry any more; I am just sad and scared.

If God didn’t want us to have control of our own ports, I don’t think He would have given us control of our Country. I don’t think it was His intention to transfer control of our national resources to any foreign country whether they are of Muslim, Jewish, or Christian origin.

To get right down to it, I don’t think that the freedom our forefathers fought for under God’s good grace should be put at risk by putting our national security in jeopardy. I don’t think God meant for us to put any of our national resources under anyone else’s control but His and us as His designated inhabitants of this great country.

In my search for God I have often asked myself why He allows good people to make bad decisions like transferring control of our ports to a foreign country. That’s what makes me sad and scared. I haven’t found a good answer.
