It seems we are in a perpetual election campaign in America. No more does one candidate get elected than the other party begins to plot how to defeat him or her in the next election. Yet, there is no guarantee there will be another election. Nations rise and nations fall. History is strewn with the bones of once mighty empires—and their destruction can be rapid. If America endures, the current occupant of the White House will be reelected or there will be a new resident. At some point, the party out of power will come to power—that has been the pattern. The pattern is not an ironclad assurance though, for nations are born, and nations die. Elections are important. Elections have consequences. What God elects to do, however, is the supreme decision. It’s not up to our vote! Despite political turmoil, we, as God’s people, can have hope, peace, and joy—for the resident of the White House may change, but the One residing on the Great White Throne does not! He has been there for eternity and will always be—ruling as King of kings and Lord of lords! God is sovereign. If He is not sovereign over all things, then He is not God at all! His kingdom will come no matter what opposition arises. Weigh these words:
“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. Why should the Gentiles say, ‘So where is their God?’ But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.” (Ps.115:1-3).
