As I write this, our nation is voting for its next President.  No doubt some of you reading this will be up late tonight to hear the results.  Others reading this are more like me . . . they will just go to bed like they have every night before.

It's not that I think elections don't matter.  They do!  And it's not that I think politics don't matter.  They do!  And, it's certainly not because I do not care who wins this particular election.  I do!

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior . . . He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their own hearts; He has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate (Luke 1:46-47, 51-52).

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.  For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God (Rom 13:1).

So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:10-11).

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.  And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.  By its light the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it" (Rev 21:22-24).

These are the reasons I am not sweating any bullets or fretting late tonight.  God will either give us the leaders we deserve, or He will give us mercy.  I am asking Him for mercy, but either way, I bless His Holy Name now and forever!

Isn't it nice to know how this whole thing will really end?  Sleep tight, dear followers of the Lamb.  The Prince of Peace is the King of Glory . . . and He is the Only One whose reign shall never end!
