All IS Well...God is Still in control!

I wrote this on the morning after the election. I made no bones about my stance, as I beleive there is a moral obligation for Christians to follow biblical values when voting so I do not apologize for being anti Obama when it comes to politics, but I just thought I would share some feelings and revelations I had right after the election was over....

I woke up disheartened. I love to write so I sent a few emails. In most of them I talked of how God may be letting us walk the path we made. His plan may be for us to see the edge before pulling us back. He may use this to call us to himself. And a funny thing happened, I felt his voice, his calming reassurance that on an individual basis, he is still there, he is still in control and will still guide us a Christians through what could be a very trying time. Folks this may be a time of revival for this country, the silver lining is that when people search, God has the answers. We need to be proactive in getting this country on the right track, but we also need to use this as an opportunity to tell folks why we can go on(2Cor 12:9, Psalms 91:15). To tell them that God will give them rest (Matt 11: 28-30). Tell them that God will supply and not to worry (Phill 4:19) but most of all Do not be afraid, 2 Tim 1:7 says, "I did not give you a spirit of fear". Stand on those promises, give them out like candy to anyone depressed, because God may be allowing us walk this path, but he is also walking right beside us. I pray for peace on everyone that is despondant today, I ask that God gives you wisdom in your words, but most of all I pray contentment in knowing where you will spend eternity. Amen

If this gives you encouragement good, if it shows you where God is in all of this good, but be advised, sometimes he lets us stew in our self pity,  he is still there beside us, but letting things ruminate for a while. Many times in the bible we read of men who were perplexed by what they saw as God being absent from their lives, but later on after much lamenting they find out that he never left, and the path they trod was in preperation for another one down the road. So do not farsake your time with God, he alone is our leader, our guide, our comforter. He alone is everlasting, uncontainable, all knowing. He alone gives us true peace, and contentment. He alone is what matters.
