God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.~ Psalm 47:8
This morning I heard on the news that have "classified" a disorder dealing with the election. It spoke of people having anxiety and insomnia due to the intensity or the national election. People have lost friends and connections to family members over who should sit in the White House. However, what God spoke to me in the early morning hours is that we (I) should be more concerned about who sits on the throne of my heart.
I have a stake in the out come of this election, but what will not change is God's authority. He reigns over the nations; and He is seated on his holy throne. (Psalm 47:8) He is God and He is sovereign. He reigns! I do not have to be afraid and when I am afraid, I will put my trust in Him (Psalm 56:3) He is in control and whatever comes to past has gone through or will go through His hands. He loves us and His ways are higher than ours.(Isaiah 55:8-9)
The enemy wants us to divided. He wants us to be in angst and untrusting of our neighbors. But God desires unity and for love to abound. I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. ~1 Corinthians 1:10
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ~Philipians 1:9
So regardless who is President, there is always One Lord and He has us. He will see us through. So my prayer is that goodness and justice will prevail under the Lord's care and that He reigns in my heart. That I love regardless of where there may be hate. That I look to Him to bring true peace. That I honor Him in my daily living. I pray for those who have anxiety and ask that God comfort them. I pray for the healing of this nation and this world. And I pray that our elected officials would be men and women of God that look to Him to guide their decisions. Lord thank You for reminding me that I don't have to fret and thank You for being God. In Jesus name. Amen
