There is nothing I could say that could top this message that was recently written by one of my favorite authors, Max Lucado. I wouldn’t give up my own posting for just anyone, but because I believe these words so much, it’s as though THIS IS MY POST! I urge you to read every word and realize, no matter what…..WE WIN!<\/p>\n

MY PREDICTION FOR NOVEMBER 9th (Written October 11, 2016)<\/p>\n

We are really ready for this presidential election to be over. We\u2019re ready for an end to the rancor and tackiness. Voters on both sides feel frustrated, even embarrassed by it all. There is a visceral fear, an angst about the result. What if so and so wins? When we wake up to November 9th, post-election, when the confetti is swept away and the election is finally over, what will we see?<\/p>\n

I have a prediction. I know exactly what November 9th will bring. Another day of God\u2019s perfect sovereignty. He will still be in charge. His throne will still be occupied. He will still manage the affairs of the world. Never before has His providence depended on a king, president, or ruler. And it won\u2019t on November 9, 2016. \u201cThe LORD can control a king\u2019s mind as he controls a river; He can direct it as He pleases\u201d (Proverbs 21:1).<\/p>\n

On one occasion, the Lord turned the heart of the King of Assyria so that he aided them in the construction of the Temple. [1] On another occasion, he stirred the heart of Cyrus to release the Jews to return to Jerusalem. [2] Nebuchadnezzar was considered to be the mightiest king of his generation. But God humbled and put him in \u201cdetention\u201d for seven years. [3] \u201cThe kingdom is the Lord\u2019s, and He rules over the nations\u201d (Psalm 22:28).<\/p>\n

Understanding God\u2019s sovereignty over the nations opens the door to peace. When we realize that God influences the hearts of all rulers, we can then choose to pray for them rather than fret about them. Rather than wring our hands, we bend our knees, we select prayer over despair. <\/p>\n

Jeremiah did this. He was the prophet to Israel during one of her darkest periods of rebellion. He was called \u201cthe weeping prophet\u201d because he was one. He wept at the condition of the people and the depravity of their faith. He was so distraught that one of his books was entitled Lamentations. But then he considered the work of God. Note the intentionality of his words:
\nThis I recall to my mind,
\nTherefore I have hope.
\nThe LORD\u2019s lovingkindnesses indeed never ceases,
\nFor His compassions never fail.
\nThey are new every morning;
\nGreat is Your faithfulness. (Lamentation 3:21-23)<\/p>\n

Imitate Jeremiah. Lift up your eyes. Dare to believe that good things will happen. Dare to believe that God was speaking to us when He said: \u201cIn everything God works for the good of those who love Him\u201d (Romans 8:28).<\/p>\n

Let’s make this our prayer:
\nDear Lord,
\nYou are perfect. You could not be better than you are. You are self-created. You exist because you choose to exist. You are self-sustaining. No one helps you. No one gives you strength. You are self-governing. Who can question your deeds? Who dares advise you? You are correct. In every way. In every choice. You regret no decision. You have never failed. Never! You cannot fail! You are God! You will accomplish your plan. You are happy. Eternally joyful. Endlessly content. You are the king, supreme ruler, absolute monarch, overlord, and rajah of all history. An arch of your eyebrow and a million angels will pivot and salute. Every throne is a footstool to yours. Every crown is papier\u2013m\u00e2ch\u00e9 to yours. No limitations, hesitations, questions, second thoughts, or backward glances. You consult no clock. You keep no calendar. You report to no one. You are in charge……….AND I TRUST YOU! <\/p>\n

Circle November 9th on your calendar and write upon it the words: Our good God rules the world.
