"Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation." Psalm 146:3
What happens during elections shouldn't really matter to us as Christians. It might make life less comfortable. It might affect privileges we enjoy. but these are temporary things, compared to what's ahead.
We're not living for this life. "our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3:20)
We serve a God who hold the nations in His hand. "Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, He takes up the coastlands like fine dust." (Isaiah 40:15)
God is in absolute control. "He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings." (Daniel 2:21) We have to believe that this election is no different.
We have great reason to be encouraged and excited for what God's doing in His Kingdom. Let us live for that kingdom!
"My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand..."
