God Will Decide--He Always Has

In 20 days, God will decide.

Just as He did in 1788, and 1860. No different than 1960, or 1984. As it was in 2000 and 2012, so shall it be in 2016. 56 times God has decided our president. This one will be no different.

God has a plan. It has not changed. It is not subject to interference or subterfuge. From before the beginning, God has known the answer. Whoever wins will be whom God intended to win, as said in Daniel 2:21.

God will not react to the results of this election. He has planned this, and whatever is to come next. He is never caught off guard. He guides. He directs. He causes. He acts, but He has no need to react. As this part of His plan is completed, He will follow through til the end.

There is nothing new here. This is God at work. As He was yesterday, so He is tomorrow. In control. Sovereign. Holy. Just. Right.

In 20 days, God will still be God.

Kings and rulers come and go--presidents, congressmen, judges, and their appointees included. Some are good, other are not. They succeed, or they fail. They may be righteous or they may be evil, but what they all have in common is that they rule only until replaced, and live only until they die.

Not God. He is. Forevermore. He never fails. His will never fails. Ever. We may not--do not--understand His plan, but it will come to fruition. God is eternal. His rule is forever.

In 20 days, 20 weeks, 20 years, and 20 millennia, God will be God. The Almighty. His Son will be King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They have not been replaced, nor will they ever. They stand, firmly enthroned.

In 20 days, we will be in God's hands.

We were yesterday, we are today, and we will be tomorrow in the care of our loving, providing Father. It is He who cares for us, protects us, provides for us. It is to no man nor woman to whom we should look for our answers, but to God, and God alone.

He alone numbers the hairs on our head. He alone knows all things. He alone created. He alone sustains. Only God. Why would we look anywhere else?

To say, "It is in God's hands," is to speak nothing but truth. All things are in God's hands. Including our elections. Including our lives. Including our next breath. No person can change that, for they, also, are in His hands.

There is not, nor will there ever be, a greater comfort than to know, believe, and trust that we are in the hands of the Master. Strong and secure, they will never fail. Steady and sure, they will never falter. Faithful and willing, they will never let go.

In 20 days, what will be will be.

 According to His will and purpose, what is to happen will happen. For all we know, Christ may call any one of us, or even all of us who believe, home to Him before that day comes.

And all the saints say, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"
