Election Day

So today, at some point, we will be picking the next president of the United States.

I have friends and relatives and such that are actually scared of the wrong guy getting the job. I do not share this fear. To me the wrong guy can't get the job, because God is ultimately in control of that. I'm going to lie that I feel a little bit anxious about how things will change and how this new person will affect the way this country is run. But ultimately, I have a peace about it all. I'm in love and I go to school and that's my life right now.

This verse was spoken in church this past Sunday and it totally speakes to the way I feel:

"...the Most High is soveriegn over the kingdoms of man and gives them to whoever he wishes." -Daniel 4:25

"His dominion is an eternal dominion; His kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven and the people of the earth. No one can hold back His hand or say to Him: "What have you done?" -Daniel 4: 34-35

Those verse are about King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a dream to him that Daniel was able to interpret. It said that Nebuchadnezzar was going to lose his kingdom and that he was to go live in the woods like an animal until 7 years had past and he was able and willing to admit that God was soveriegn over him. Indeed this came true and it took Nebuchadnezzar 7 years to acknowledge the Most High God. Daniel 4:34-35 is what he says when finally admits and glorifies the One who gave him the power in the first place.

God is in full control of today's outcome. He gives power and takes away power. He is behind the results of today. Nothing comes to us that did not pass through the hand of God. He is in control and I will praise Him whatever the outcome.
