I have to admit I've been worried over the past few weeks about this election. Worried about the implications for our country and our children. Worried about the chips being chopped away from our freedoms by both parties. But as a Christian, I am reminded by God's word who is in ultimate control of our future. The political parties of this world have control over a limited domain, but scripture tells us God's domain encompasses all things.
Colassians 2:6-10 says, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Chirst, who is the head over every power and authority."
Every power and authority. That just about covers it. So, if you're a Christian today, don't get lost in the philosophies and worries of the world. Find strength in your faith and be thankful for the promises God has given you in Christ. Our country will last for a short time, but God's kingdom endures forever.
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57.
