I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am one disappointed farmwife this morning. I am shocked and surprised and disgusted about how the election turned out last night.
Friends and I have texted our worry back and forth. We heard from our kids about their concerns. For a few hours there, everything seemed to be doom and gloom.
I don't want the government to be my father or husband, but apparently half of America does.
We just finished studying about the period of the Judges in the Old Testament, and I woke up this morning thinking about it. I am sure not all of the Israelites were clamoring for a King, against the will of their Heavenly King. However, a huge majority of them did think that was the answer because they wanted to be like the other people around them. They got their wish, and it didn't turn out so well. I kind of feel like we are the minority Israelites who are going to suffer the consequences of the idiocy of the majority.
But, we are not going to dwell on this. We have to keep on doing the next right thing.
My happiness, health (ok, maybe health with Obamacare), and salvation do not come from any earthly man. I am going to trust more in my Jesus and His plan, knowing that no matter what happens we will be fine. I am also going to do my part to share his LOVE with all people, and let God take care of the rest.
If your man won, congratulations. If he didn't, pray for peace and enjoy the beauty of this day!
Yep... praying along with you!
ReplyDeletePraying for peace here ... almost everything and everyone I voted for didn't win. But my God is still in control ... and my trust is in Him, not in whoever sits in the Oval Office.
ReplyDeleteI also thought about how the Israelites wanted an earthly king...shame.
ReplyDeleteI will ignore this one exists...eyes on Jesus...onward and upward. Praise Him!
I am right there with you. I woke heartbroken. Our country has put humans above God and it breaks my heart. My son was upset and I told him it doesn't matter whose name is after president, it matters whose King. All we can do is trust our Heavenly Father. Remember, in Revelation Jesus wins and we will be riding white horses along with Him.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to my sister in Christ. Xoxo
It was such a let down. But I am choosing to rejoice, knowing who sits on the Throne. And I am committed to pray for our President and our leaders. They will need it!
ReplyDeleteWe, too, are sick about the election but will continue to pray for the president, his family and our country.
ReplyDeleteYour words are just perfect..wish I had thought of them. :)

We were extremely disappointed too. The link below is another reason we were very unhappy:
