What Now?

I'm writing this before the final tally.  I don't know who won the election yet... and my thoughts today aren’t shaded blue or red.  

Yesterday many of us went to polling places and cast our votes for the person we believed could best lead our nation.

Last night we stayed up late and watched election results come in.

Today we have a president-elect.


I want to encourage you to remember to do three things:
  1. Pray for our president.  Even if you don’t agree with their politics... agree to pray for wisdom and strength as they lead our nation.
  2. Pray for our nation.  Elections reveal division.  It’s time to heal as best as we can.
  3. Remember that regardless of who sits in the White House...
God is not a democrat.
God is not a republican.

He is the King of Kings.
He will be on His throne in 2016 just as He was in 1016.
He was not voted into power and He won’t be voted out.

Choosing to follow Him will always be the right choice.
His ways are greater.
His love is complete.

Every knee shall bow.
Every tongue will confess.
In every election...regardless of result...

God reigns.  

"Make your motions and cast your votes,

    but God has the final say."  Proverbs 16:33 (MSG)
