My Hope!

First off, this post has nothing to do with debating my vote or your vote!  It's over and done with and we are where we are!  I don't want to argue with anyone about who is right or who is wrong.

Yesterday I wasn't putting all my faith in Christ.  Yesterday I was fretting and worrying about things that were out of my hands.  I was praying throughout the day but my mind was not focused on The King being The One and Only King!  I know all of that and believe all of that but I let my competitive spirit get in the way of what Jesus was trying to show me all day long!  I managed to chew every single finger nail to the quick.  (I know I have issues and probably need counseling on how to deal with stress without making my fingers bleed!)  Gonzo had to go to a junior high football game last night.  He had planned on taking Adda with him.  Ella and I gladly tagged along because I was not interested in watching the results.  In fact I joked to my mother that I might take three Benedryl and just go to bed.  I said joking, but if I didn't need to give two children a bath and nurse the youngest before she went to bed I might have taken the pills!  It was too close to watch and I just didn't want to see it.  Then the results were final and I had a moment of anger, fear, disbelief, and worry!  Then I read what a friend of mine posted to Facebook.  He said, "Believer, go to bed with the same hope you had last night, Jesus.  Pray for our President.  Serve and love those around you."  I thought to myself, why do I fear, where is my hope?  I don't need to fear because my God, The Only God, is in control.  He has my hope!  "Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

I will continue to rely on my Savior!  I will continue to pray for the USA!  I will pray for our leader today and the days to come!  My God is bigger than all of this and then some!  "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities.  For there is no authority except from God and those which exist are established by God." (Romans 13:1)  As a Believer, I have to know that God is in control!  I have to know that He has a plan for our President!   

Words from the song "Our God is Greater" by Chris Tomlin

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

CHORUS
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There's no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

BRIDGE
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God...
