I have hesitated to write about all of this but I find my fingers need a good workout this morning and my heart too!! I am in my fairly normal routine and have just finished my study time in the book of Exodus.
I have been looking at the great lengths the Lord went to get the attention of Pharaoh and the Egyptians. I have now turned on my favorite 25 songs on the IPOD to continue to help my heart rest in Him over many troubling issues both personally and in our world.
Again through the study and music I find the thing to concentrate on is who we belong to and the joy we have knowing and walking with Him. I sat as I waited on my curlers to heat up on the song I will listen to after the election and that is the song...”Just Give Me Jesus”. This summer God led me to study the book of Daniel. I had just finished a 9 month study of the book of Matthew through BSF. I have studied Daniel numerous times but this was the first from Beth Moore. Several verses stood out to me and especially “Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes.” Daniel 4:25 As you might find yourself like me struggling with fear and anxiety about the election be sure you turn your mind to the truth of who God is and His forever promises to never leave or forsake us. We have much to be joyful in as we get to shine as lights in this dark world and I have always liked light more than darkness. Let’s stand out as ones who know and love God. Go vote and take action where God leads but always with the love of Jesus in your heart. Walk with the Father today and be at peace for He knows us, loves us and never leaves us.
“Let us encourage one another...”

What a great encouragement! This world is certainly temporary and the affairs of men are in His hands. We can rest in that no matter what the outcome of a single election. Thank you for the reminder to walk with our Father through this!
