hope

Hope for our nation is not found in the donkey or the elephant.

Our hope is found in the Lamb.

(found on a Facebook post and given to me by a friend. author unknown.)

Yet another person sent me this link to a blog which contains much wisdom and begins like this:

“Sinful humans with all our quirks will decide who controls the White House and Congress.

But under a sovereign God, the election is no crapshoot.” Marvin Olasky

"You may not find comfort in the truth of that statement, but I certainly do. Yes, I am offended and fed up with the hostility in the current campaign. The lies and spin and distortions and underhanded things that people will do to get elected make me sick. Yes, in my weaker moments I get somewhat anxious, and occasionally terrified, about what “sinful humans” with all their “quirks” might decide two days from now. And my guess is that most of you feel the same way, regardless of which political party you support. 

But Marvin Olasky is right: “under a sovereign God, the election is no crapshoot.” Who ultimately ends up in Congress and the White House is not, in the final analysis, subject to the whims and moods of the American people. From a purely human point of view, it may appear to be a “crapshoot”, but I assure you that God is in complete control.

So what I propose to do in this article is set before you eight biblical principles that I hope and pray will both inform you about how you and I ought to think of government and politics as well as inspire you with unshakable confidence in the supremacy and sovereignty of God over all things." Read more
