The Unelected Unimpeachable King

This morning I was praying for our nation on the eve of election day. As part of my prayer life, I often pray through a daily Psalm, and the Lord placed me in Psalm 67 today:

"Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth." Psalm 67:4

I prayed for Mr. Trump.
I prayed for Mrs. Clinton.
I prayed for Mr. McMullin.
And I prayed for the people that are going to be devastated after the results are finalized. 

Democracy is great when you win, and it's the pits when you lose. But as Winston Churchill once said

Here's the long and short of it for me; I will be a responsible citizen and cast my vote. I will be a responsible Christ-follower, and follow my biblical convictions in doing so.

And I will not hang my hopes on anyone other than Jesus. 

You see, Presidents come and go. But the King of Kings is here to stay! He offers promises that are never broken, and leadership that will never be matched. He's never up for re-election, and never in need of removal.

So let us as Christians be responsible citizens. Exercise your right to vote! Pray for our nation! But don't allow the political process of one nation out of the 195 in the world, to steal your joy. Remember that whether your candidate wins or loses, thanks to Jesus, you still win!
