One nation under God
Today, on this eve of the coming elections, I, like millions of others, find myself watching and listening to see if I can determine what might happen tomorrow. After countless radio and television interviews, town hall meetings, national debates, etc, I am sure I know less now than when the whole process first started.
Two things we can be certain of—first, we will definitely have someone new manning the helm of this country and second, God is already aware of who that will be!
Yesterday, we spent some time in the services praying for our country and I was once again reminded of what a great nation we live in. With all our faults and failures, America has done more to perpetuate the gospel of the kingdom throughout the world then any other nation, and I promise you this—God’s message of love and forgiveness cannot be stopped! Taking a look back through the thousands of years, its encouraging to know that though many have tried to stamp out the light of the gospel, tyrannical rulers, national governments, the dark ages, nor even the devil himself could not stop the Word of God from going forth to change countless numbers of lives, myself included!
So while I watch the results tomorrow, like everyone else, I will continue to pray for this United States of America, one nation, under God! And whoever gets the nod, be it Obama or McCain, I will continue to pray, to stand in the gap, and will ask God to establish His will for this land that His plans stand firm forever!
“The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, ?the people he chose for his inheritance”. Psalm 33:10-12 KJV
