Just a short post...
I was reading my son's blog today and noted a link on his blog to one of his recommendations. It is a post by Lauren on Britt and Lauren's blog regarding the result of the recent elections. She reminds readers that God has not failed to be in control regardless of the outcome.
I appreciate the fact that there are young people in this country that:
1) Didn't fall into the 'Follow Obama' fad.
2) Still hear the speaking of the Holy Spirit saying I (God) am in control. Don't be swayed by every wind and wave in these stormy times.
The Spirit showed me the outcome of this election long before the votes were counted. I believe that our new president elect is one that God intends to use to attempt to awaken the comfortable, slumbering church. The truth of God's love and His Redemption for man is desperately needed in this increasingly narcissistic society in which we live. Only God can satisfy the longings of hearts and church of God is needed to spread the Good News.
Heavenly Father, pour out your Holy Spirit as you said you would in these last days.

Spot on.
I, too, saw this one coming. I'm reminded of Paul's words in Romans 13: "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God."
A good reminder for a people - especially in the church - who too often place their hope in governments of men and in politics to accomplish what only God can accomplish, and who thus too readily fear a government with which they disagree. It was put in place by God. Our hope is in HIM.
You're right.
I was reading in Daniel this morning and it was a timely reminder to consider Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, as well as Daniel and the trials they endured in the face of kings, yet keeping their trust and faith in the Lord.
Isaiah 26:3,4 have also been much in my considerations lately.
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.
how wonderful to hear your words again!
