The Dangers of Ambition Without God: A Reflection on Mrs. Kamala Harris’s Agenda

 

Vice President Kamala Harris has recently spoken of her belief in “the ambition, the aspirations, the dreams of the American people.” While her message can be inspiring, it reveals a critical omission: God. By focusing solely on human ambition, her agenda promotes goals that often conflict with biblical teachings.

The pursuit of success is not inherently wrong, but ambition disconnected from God risks becoming self-centered. For example, Harris’s support of abortion rights directly contradicts the biblical commandment to honor the sanctity of life. In Psalm 139:13-16, God intricately forms life in the womb, bestowing value upon it from conception. Policies that support terminating unborn lives disregard this divine significance and place human desires above God’s will.

Mrs. Harris’s stance on gender ideology further promotes an ambition that contradicts God’s design. Genesis 1:27 states that God created humans “male and female.” Advocacy for self-identification over God’s creation disregards the intentionality of how He made each individual. Ambition without considering God’s commands leads society away from His truth.

The Call to Godly Ambition:

Jesus teaches, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). This call challenges any agenda that elevates personal desires over God’s will. An “opportunity economy” is attractive, but unless it acknowledges God’s values—such as the sanctity of life and the design of creation—it risks promoting ambitions that conflict with biblical principles.

Balancing Ambition with Obedience:

Proverbs 16:3 tells us to “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.” True success comes from submitting our ambitions to God. Christians must critically assess societal goals, including those promoted by Mrs. Harris, to ensure they honor biblical values. If ambitions oppose God’s commands, they stray into dangerous territory, making human desires the measure of what is right.

The Consequences of Ambition Without God:

When society elevates ambition without God, it creates a culture that prioritizes personal desires over divine wisdom. Policies that support abortion or promote gender identity ideologies reflect an ambition to appease societal trends, not uphold biblical values. This path leads to moral decline as human aspirations replace God’s truth.

Conclusion

Ambition can inspire positive change, but it must be rooted in God’s will. Mrs. Harris’s focus on “the ambitions of the American people” sounds appealing, but without grounding it in God’s commands, it becomes an empty promise. True opportunity is found in living a life aligned with God’s will. Christians must uphold biblical values, advocate for the sanctity of life, and honor God’s creation, modeling an ambition that seeks to glorify God, not merely appease human desires.
