I read an appropriate quote in my Barbara Johnson daily calendar today: "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday - but not nearly enough."We have all been affected in some way over the past two years as we prepared for this 2008 Presidential election. We've all had conversations with our families, spouses, and dear friends. We have forwarded YouTube videos, cartoons, and letters from leaders we respect. We've seen the television commercials, watched news coverage, and maybe even some of us have had heated discussions with the other side as we passionately express why we will vote for the man we believe will be the best leader for America over the next four years.
We've worried about what will happen today - Election Day. But does that worry in any way help the results of this election?
God's Word says,
Psalm 75:6-7, "No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another."
This Election night, many of us will celebrate. Many others will be sullen and downcast. Us? We're having a party for five: grilled steaks, pasta with a mushroom and gorgonzola sauce, romaine salad, and apple pie for dessert. I've cast my vote already, as has Greg. Whatever happens tonight will be what God has allowed to happen. I'm not worried; I trust in God and God alone for my future and my family's future, no matter which candidate will be celebrating.
We live in a great country where this day, November 4, is a celebrated freedom we have been privileged to participate in for greater than 200 years. May God continue to bless these United States of America!
