Election Results

Something very important happened on Tuesday night...I was finally able to watch TV without chucking large, heavy objects at it every time my favorite shows were interupted by politicians throwing mud. Thats right, the election is finally over. As I sat on my couch on Wednesday morning I was wondering what the results would be. I didn't have to wait long to find my answer. It didn't come from TODAY or Good Morning America...it came from my Bible.

Colossians 1:15-18 "He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities...He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy."

The results are in. The people elected to office are the ones that Christ willed to be there. It is that simple. Christ is SUPREME. He is in control and he has brought all rulers into power.

There is one more important thing to notice however. The Bible does not say that he brings the best rulers into power or even the most Godly, honest or morally sound. It simply states that he brings leaders into power.

You may be happy about the election results, or you may be sad. One thing you can be sure of. If you pray "...thy kingdom come..." you can know that your prayers are being answered and brought closer each day. It may be near, it may be far, but Christ is organizing the world's affairs in his will.
