This was quite the election year, the dust is still settling from it. I don’t remember the last time we had an election so full of emotion. I know many Americans are very discouraged by the outcome, but are we forgetting the sovereignty of God? Now don’t get me wrong when I say this, but do we really think it is “our” vote that is going to make the decision? I’m all for voting and view it as our right and privilege and I choose to exercise that right, but I also know that it really doesn’t matter who I vote for in the big picture because God already has it under control.
Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
Do we view our president as the one who is going to bring all the change to our country? We need to remember that he is only a man, not God. Whether you like Obama or not, we need to not only pray for him, but rest in the fact that once again we serve a Sovereign Lord and if He allowed the outcome to be this then He most certainly has things under control.
In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
I am so thankful that I have a big God. In times of uncertainty we have a hope and a future. We can cling to the promises of the Lord and know that no matter what happens God is still on the throne. His promises never fail and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
Psalm 47:8
Apparently one of my children weren’t happy with the election results. lol
