The Day After the Election

This is one of the most important elections in the history of our nation. The next president and congress will not only face monumental conflicts at home and abroad, but 55 days after the election, unless there is a break in the partisan gridlock, prior tax cuts will expire, effecting a $500 billion tax increase, and the first installment of a $4 trillion reduction in spending will kick in.  A perfect storm (one that will make Sandy look like a breezy day at the beach) is brewing.

At such times I am reminded of David's words: “I do not involve myself in great matters or in things too difficult for me” (Psalm 131:1). 

So, like you, I’ll vote my conscience, trying to discern God's will, resting assured that no matter what happens on November 6, God will still be in control on November 7—because, in the end, I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but a monarchist waiting for the coming of my King.
