Regardless of who wins the United States’
election today, my faith and trust will rest in the sovereign God of all, Who is
over all, and Who accomplishes His purposes and does His perfect will. May His chosen candidate win--for better or for
worse. Whether you voted or did not vote,
or whether you voted for that candidate or the other candidate, your actions
were an important thread in the tapestry of God. He is sovereign over all.
"For there is
no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by
God." (Romans 13:1)
Neither man nor government is our salvation or
our true hope for the future. They are
only vessels of clay in the Master Potter’s hands. God alone is Savior in all ways and for all
time.
He is "the
only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,” and to Him ”be glory, majesty, dominion and authority,
before all time and now, and for all ages." (Jude 1:25)
“Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, for
wisdom and power belong to Him. It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men and
knowledge to men of understanding. It is He who reveals the profound and hidden
things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him." (Daniel 2: 20-22)
My prayer this morning went like this:
My prayer this morning went like this:
Almighty God, Your perfect will be
done on earth as it is done in this entire universe! It doesn’t matter whether I like your perfect
will or not. Your will be done. My boast and my trust and my focus will be
upon You. I am not to trust in legislators
or presidents to be the people’s salvation.
I am to trust in You.
My Lord, Jesus Christ, You are my
Lord. You are The Lord. Your rightful place is as King of this entire
earth. Your rightful place is as
President of our nation, our families, and our hearts. One day, it will be so.
Christ
is the “Head of every sovereignty and
authority” because “in Him is all
created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the
invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all
is created through Him and for Him, and He is before all, and all has its
cohesion in Him.” (Colossians 2:10,
1:16-17)
