Between Rob gently listening to me, giving godly counsel and pointing me to two articles on his blog, "The Real Issue." One, an "Open Letter to President-elect," by Dr. Richard Land. Then the other was written by Dr. Al Mohler, the President of Southern Seminary. The Holy Spirit used Rob and these men to remind me that as believers we are called to be different in our response to the election results.
This morning we had prayer as a family and talked about our thoughts and feelings about the election. Christine cried and shared her thoughts as to why she was sad that Senator McCain and Governor Palin lost. Perhaps it is the fact that our sweet daughter is growing up and is more aware as to what is at stake now in our country.
We recommitted ourselves to the Lord and asked Him to use us individually and as a family. We reminded Christine as well as ourselves that God is still in control. It is He that sets kings in places and takes them down as well.
We also reminded Christine that this world is not our final resting place. Rob reminded both Christine and myself that in many respects, we are living in an incredible time in history by which to live out the Christian faith.
This evening as Christine and I prayed before she went bed, again through Scripture, she and I were once again reminded of who is in control of our world. Man is egotistic enough and proud to think that he is the one who is in charge.
Will there be hard days ahead? Let's pray for our President-elect. Christian, let's be vigilant. We can take an ostrich approach or we take to be holy and be ready ourselves for this TRUTH WAR. I want to be ready and not to faint. Now is the time to recommit ourselves to hiding God's Word in our hearts.
Also, take time to scroll down my side bar to the heading, "Worshipful Praises @ You Tube." I have added 15 songs that will encourage you immensely.
In Him Alone!
