Let us set our gaze on the ONE who is our hope

Jesus is the one we turn to in times of trouble and discontent. When we fear for our future, our nation and our lives, HE is our moral compass, no matter what bills are passed, who is voted in or out of a political office.

I do have to share the scripture that was in my morning devotional today. This is taken from one of those "Bible Verse-A-Day" devotionals that are set years in advance. I found the timing of it most interesting...
(Gal 3:1-5 AMP)
"O you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom--right before your very eyes--Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?"

Not to take it out of context from what the apostle Paul was writing to the church in Galatia, but you have to admit, it does fit for this day.

Now before I get nasty comments or get flamed for taking a stand with God's Word, let me remind you that I am just quoting what I read in my devotional and that this is taken from HIS Word set forth for this day and not mine.

Actually, I felt the election results would turn this way, and although I am saddened for America and grieved in my spirit about where this nation wants to head, I know that God is still on the throne, Jesus is still my Lord and will never leave me nor forsake me. Some of the mightest moves of God came during political unrest and when ungodly kings were on the throne. Jesus was even born and lived during the most darkened times and his crucifixion, death and resurrection was the MOST powerful of all. Despite the earthly way of men's leadings, and political leanings, we know that HIS kingdom will have no end.
