Political Angst


     The future leadership of America now stands in the balance between the most disliked candidates in the history of our county. We need a break, don’t we? The ads, the debates, the pundits; we could fill ourselves with the angst of it all 24/7. Remember, our God is sovereign. He puts up and takes down leaders. Ultimately, His will reigns.

He changes times and seasons. He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. Daniel 2:21

     When evil rises, God brings about good. We don’t understand His ways, but be wise this week. Inform yourself on the issues and pray. Pray for God’s will. Pray for our country. Trust God. He knows the end of the story. He knows how to surround evil with good. Evil has no power over Him. Jesus allowed evil to send Him to the very cross that saved us. Listen to His words right before His journey to the cross.

I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over Me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what My Father has commanded Me. Come now, let us leave. John 14:30-31

     Evil had no hold over Him, but He went to His death, willingly, to overcome it. Evil will run its course, but it has no hold over Him or over us.

Father,

Keep us from fear and doubt as we move closer to this election. Keep our hearts and minds on You, knowing You are in control. Give us wisdom and knowledge and discernment in the month ahead.

In Jesus name,

Amen
