I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Thank goodness the mid term elections are over for the most part. There were some hotly contested races that were too close to call at one point but all the hateful tv ads are over. Yay! Life is back to normal hopefully.
Elections do have consequences and this one is no exception. You may be biting your fingernails and fretful of what is to come because the majority in the House shifted but alas remember who is ultimately in control and for His kingdom purposes not our little lives that are mere vapors in the big scheme of things. All of us are commanded to pray for those in authority, not hate them.
This world down here is so temporary. Stuff happens that gets us riled up and fretful at times and people fight and bicker over non kingdom issues. It probably seems so silly to God who wants his children to love one another and not tear each other apart. No matter what swirls around you just remember who is really on the throne.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for getting to live in this country full of freedoms. There have been leaders in the past that tried to be tyrants and remove freedoms but thank goodness for elections and our Constitution and the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. Thank you for our freedoms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
An excellent message for our times.
