(Proverbs 25:3 KJV) The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
But how does the king apply to us today? I would suggest it refers to people in authority over us.
As I write an election is coming. I find myself trying to analyze and understand the people running for office. I want to vote wisely and as God would have me vote. That is, I believe, a worthy goal, but like so much of life I can’t wait for perfect understanding in order to make a decision. I must go on what I have.
What do I have? I have things like the book of Proverbs which help me to look at the stands that the political parties have taken on moral issues such as marriage and abortion. I look at how they define justice. Is it the impartial justice of scripture or the vote buying justice of modern politics?
I can’t know the “heart” (3820) but I can listen, observe and decide.
So? I accept that you may not agree with my choices. I simply ask that you be in prayer for our country, our world and our choices. We are blessed.

For the most part, I don't feel I can vote for any democrats, since they chose to support a party that promotes sodomy and infanticide. Sadly, there a couple Republicans (one state, one local)that are so repulsive that the democrat candidates for those offices will get my vote just to try to keep them out. Unfortunately, few third-party candidates are that great, either.
I feel your pain because it is my pain. In California I vote even though my vote is mostly a waste of time. Let us hope that "as California goes, so goes the nation." is not still true.
Grace and peace.
