Yesterday was Election Day. I\u2019m sure if you are like me, you are thankful that the television ads are over, the phone calls have stopped, and that peace will once again reign in households all across America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past few days, there have been statements on Facebook that refer to the fact that regardless of who won the election, that today and every day, God is still in control. He knew what the outcome of the election would be long before the poles opened.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Why is it that we have difficulty maintaining this way of thinking through our day-to-day lives? Why do we spend precious time worrying? We should be spending less time worrying and more time praying.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, God is still in control this morning. He will be all day long and well into the evening. Even while you\u2019re sleeping through the night, God will be in control. When I came to this realization and really accepted it as truth, my life suddenly became less hectic, less aggravating, and produced much less worrying.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A wonderful Psalm delivers this message. \u201cThe Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.\u201d<\/i> (Psalm 93:1-2 \u2013 NIV)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Aren\u2019t there some wonderful thoughts in this passage? God reigns. He is robed in majesty. He is armed with strength. His throne was established long ago. He is eternity.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If we believe these five statements, we will be able to face each day and offer it to God. In return He will keep our world (lives) on a firm foundation.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What are you facing today? A difficulty? An illness? A broken relationship? A job search? A death? Whatever it is, God wants to be in the middle of it with you. Why not open up to Him and allow Him to encourage you with His strength. Allow Him to wrap His robe around you for comfort. Allow Him to be the Lord of your life and reign on the throne of your heart. Allow Him to be your eternity. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I will be praying for you\u2026and our nation!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
