Phew! The Election is Over

Phew!! The Election is over.

Well, it's November 5, 2008 and the election is finally over. I don't know if your candidate won or lost, but I know God's candidate won. Through this whole drawn out election process there was not a single day that God slipped off His throne. Today, the morning after the presidential election, He still reigns. He still rules over the universe. He is still on the Throne. No one slipped into the office of the President of the United States without God's permission. The people of the United States voted yesterday but God put a man in office. You may be cheering today or you may be disappointed but do not loose heart. Regardless of where you are personally today we can stand firm on these Biblical truths:

1. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The day before the election, the day of the election and the day after the election
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8

2. God is sovereign over the nations.
Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Psalm 9:19-20.

3. God appoints our leaders.
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Romans 13:1
I want to encourage us all to get on our knees and fight for our nation.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
