We are off and running to our \u201clast stand\u201d (literally) as Election clerks this morning. We anticipate voting lines out the door. Heartfelt passion and commitment has been sensed during the days leading up to today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s Election Day, and the nation is buzzing. But before the votes are counted and decisions announced, let\u2019s settle our hearts by remembering that God still reigns supreme — no matter the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We may feel a mix of hope and tension. After all, Election Day stirs up strong feelings on all sides. Let\u2019s be grateful for the privilege of choosing leaders and shaping our future with God\u2019s mighty hands still in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know exactly what this day will bring \u2014 another day of God\u2019s perfect sovereignty. He will still be in charge. He will still manage the affairs of the world. Never, has His providence depended on a king, president, or ruler. \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\n\n\n
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\n\n\n
Jeremiah did this. He wept at the condition of the people and the depravity of their faith. But then he considered the work of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note the intentionality of his words: \u201cI have hope. The LORD\u2019s lovingkindness never ceases. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.\u201d Lamentation 3:21-23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s imitate Jeremiah. Let\u2019s lift our eyes. Let\u2019s dare to believe that good things will happen. Let\u2019s 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\n\n\n
Even greater than any election: our real hope is anchored in a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Leaders and policies may come and go, but God\u2019s reign endures forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Philippians 4:7 tells us of \u201cpeace that surpasses all understanding,\u201d a peace that can quiet our hearts no matter what the headlines say. God is not only aware of this moment; He\u2019s already woven His goodness through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when the results start to roll in, let\u2019s remember the One who holds every leader and every nation in His hands. This is our assurance. No ballot box can contain the plans of the Almighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter who \u201cwins\u201d tonight, we have a King who already reigns — steadfast, unchanging, and good. Let\u2019s lean into that peace and walk forward in faith and joy because God is still in control!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
