Election Results are In!
Everything has passed that God has allowed; nothing has passed that was not part of His plan.
God is on His throne – always has been, always will be. Psalm 90:2, “Before the mountains were born, Or Thou didst give birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God”.
God is Most High. Psalm 83:18, “That they may know that Thou alone, whose name is the LORD, Art the Most High over all the earth”. There is no need to despair, the future is certain. The world definitely looks unsettled to many of us, it may seem like things are unraveling and unrest can be felt. Yet, God has a plan which is perfect.
God knows all things. Psalm 139:1-3, “O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known [me.] Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways”. Proverbs 5:21, “For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He watches all his paths”. There are no surprises, and no contested results.
God sees all things. Psalm 139:7-10, “Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me”. There are no tapes for God to review. He knows and He sees with perfect judgment.
God is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. No matter how bad it may seem, God will not bail! The opposite of faithfulness is being a traitor, not holding to your promises. We witness this all around us. However, God is always true to His word. Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."
God is merciful and longsuffering. Exodus 34:6-7, “Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave [the guilty] unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations”." God is holding His hand out through His Son to forgive you of all offense. Will you grasp it, receive His grace and proclaim His majesty?
God is King of all, Ruler of all. Who do you worship? The world and all it contains, or the Creator of everything? 1Timothy 1:17, “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”. Isaiah 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.
For thousands of years, even before time began, God has been on the throne. Nothing has changed in the hierarchy of Who is in control, Who is in charge, Who calls all the shots, Who we can trust, and Who gets the glory.
It is amazing that a perfect and holy God continues to have compassion on the world. The truth is, He desires all to be saved and has a greater love for His creation than we can imagine. This love was made manifest in His Son, Jesus Christ. Trusting in Him alone will result in peace no matter the circumstances. Will you continue in confusion or live for Christ?
Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will give thanks to Thy name; for Thou hast worked wonders, plans [formed] long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
Focus Heavenward.
