I don’t often get into current events, especially when they are political in nature, but there are lessons to be learned in President Trump’s relocating US Space Command Headquarters from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.

First, let me make a couple of things clear:

• Huntsville is a fine place for anything space-related. They’ve been in the space business for decades.
• That said, a headquarters can be anywhere, and right now it’s in Colorado Springs. Moving it will be costly and time consuming.
• Therefore, there ought to be a good reason for moving it.

So what is President Trump’s reason (as he stated it)?

“The problem I have with Colorado … they do mail-in voting, they went to all-mail-in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can’t have that when a state is for mail-in voting — that means they want dishonest elections, because that’s what that means.”

— President Donald Trump, citing what he described as a “big factor” in his decision to move U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama. He has not provided evidence of wide-scale fraud tied to mail ballots.

In response, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports:

El Paso County and Huntsville’s home in Madison County, Ala., had nearly identical support for Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Trump won El Paso County with 53.5% of the vote, slightly more than the 53.35% he received in Madison County.

Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that “it is deeply ironic that President Trump made a decision about the Space Force based on Colorado’s election model, yet moved it to Alabama, a state whose system provides neither the access nor the security that Colorado’s does.”

In 2013, Colorado’s county clerks — at the time, the vast majority of them Republicans — designed and championed the nation’s first modern mail ballot system, Crane added.

“Their work laid the foundation for what is now recognized as the most reliable, transparent, and accessible election model in the country.”

A biblical principle might apply here:

It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice. (Ecclesiastes 4.13, NLT)

In the meantime, 1 Timothy 2.1, 2 certainly applies:

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. (NLT)

But the bottom line is this: President Trump is not in charge. God is. He is not to be worshiped, God is.

For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods. (Psalm 95.3, NKJV)

Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. (Psalm 96.1 – 4, NKJV)

China just paraded its weapons for all to see. China’s leaders (and most leaders, for that matter, want to be gods (little-g). Putin from Russia and Kim from North Korea were there. A heavy occasion. But don’t forget:

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. (Psalm 2.1 – 4, NKJV)

Let’s get our head straight:

For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. (Psalm 96.4, 5, NKJV)

Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” (Psalm 96.9, 10, NKJV)

What’s the end?

For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth. (Psalm 96.13, NKJV)
