Election encouragement

1Sa 30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

The world continues to move forward under the sovereignty of God. A real statement was made yesterday through the choosing of a new president, a president that I believe we are scripturaly obligated to intercede and pray for. I think that people indeed do want a change and that they voted for that change. I do not think that the majority of people viewed this election as a deeply spiritual decision on their part, but I do think that this election was all about spiritual decisions and the spiritual direction that this nation was going to choose to follow. I think the nation in general chose to move away from the God of the Bible to do what is "right in their own eyes". To me this means two things. First that sin will abound more and more within our society with it's resultant consequences and secondly that the return of Jesus is closer and more imminent than ever. Some of our fellow believers like David at Ziklag might be distressed but also like David they need to turn to the Lord for their encouragement. It is only in Jesus and in His promises that we have hope!

Keep Looking up!
