I'm not much of a political person. I don't follow the daily digs and speeches. And I'm certainly not one for debating the topics with others. I just don't care for it. But as much as I don't like it, I can't escape the fact that I need to vote. And so I do.
There are many things to consider with this election though. The candidates and all that they stand for and represent, as well as the other emotionally charged propositions. But these things are not so much on my mind today. For one thing, I voted a couple weeks ago, but mostly because I know that the Lord already knows who will win and what will or will not pass. How do I know this? Because He's God!
Romans 13, verse 1 says "for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." So God knows who's going to win because He has already put them in place according to His plan and purposes. It may not be the one that I think best for our country, so I remind myself that that the Lord has said "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" (Isaiah 55:8) I am not sure of what the Lord has planned, and so I rest in the fact that He knows what he's doing - because He is holy, and perfect, and no plan of His has ever failed! (and that's a track record I can stand behind!)
In conclusion, I am not overly concerned about today's results. I have done what I can, I've voted, now I can only continue to pray for my country and state and stand firm in the knowledge that the Lord is in control of all.
Pslam 20:7

AMEN - well said!
What a beautifully written post. We're so blessed to find true peace in ALL situations as we walk with our Lord and Savior.
So eloquently worded. Though my heart is heavy this morning, this is my Father's world, and He is fully in control. Thanks for the reminder.
Amen, very well said. I hope that we can all put differences aside and move on.
Couldn't have said it better--thanks for the reminder!
