11/9/16

9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

-Romans 14:9-10

2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

-Malachi 4:2

There is so much disappointment and fear today, Lord. We can’t fathom how someone has come to rise in the most powerful country today on the wings of fear and division. That he would be the popular vote. But Lord, remind us that you are the Lord over it all. You make nations fall and rise - Egypt, Macedonia, Babylon, Rome have all had their heyday but are all no more. Great leaders are only temporary, and those who have proclaimed themselves gods have all become no more. You are steady, you are everlasting. You have your plans that we cannot fathom. But your plans are above ours, and Lord, let this not distract us from focusing on You. We will all stand before your judgement seat, and let us not judge each other based on politics. I pray that Christians will not be divided, that they will continue loving each other even more even through these turbulent times. That we will love, although the world refuses to do so. And let us continually seek out Your righteousness amidst the turbulence, and stand strong. Let none of these worldly things affect our daily worship.
