I am about to do something unprecedented. I have never, in the life of my 2 year old blog, said anything remotely political. At least, not intentionally anyway. But, with the presidential election just four days away, the tension is mounting. I feel like I need to say something….
I’m not going to tell you who to vote for. I’m not going to tell you who I’m voting for. No advice for you from this girl.
This is what I need to say. These are the times when I can get really good and worked up. Sometimes worry and fret are my constant companions. The “what ifs” are incredibly demanding of my thought processes and it just about puts me under.
BUT!
This morning I’ve been reminded of what God tells us to do – I feel sure everyone else is probably much better than I am at remembering these words…
Be Still.
He tells us in His word to “Be still and know that I AM God.”
My heart is quieted knowing that, in the end, my Heavenly Father, the Creator of the Universe is now and always will be in control. No matter who wins this presidential election, or any other election, He will not abdicate His throne.
Inside this knowledge there is nothing to do but rest.
============================================
Thoughts to consider…
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is holy
Be still, O restless soul of mine
Bow before the Prince of peace
Let the noise and clamor cease
Be still
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is faithful
Consider all that he has done
Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that He will never change
Be still
Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know he is our Father
Come rest your head upon his breast
Listen to the rhythm of his unfailing heart of love
Beating for His little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still
