Washington

This post, is supposed to be something to get your minds off of the events in Washington. There is no deep topic to discuss, rather some verses that we should all think over, pray through, and perhaps save for later. Although many of us are upset, and think that our nation is on a fast track to Mecca now, or that we're going to become a communistic/socialist regime. I give you these words to calm your minds, and ease your anxiety.

First, a prayer-

Psalm 143:7-8 (NIV) Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. [8] Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

God Provides for us, and He is just

Psalm 146:6-9 (NIV) the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- the Lord, who remains faithful forever. [7] He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free, [8] the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous. [9] The Lord watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

Psalm 147:3 (NIV) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Isaiah 61:7-9 (NIV) Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs. [8] "For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them. [9] Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed."

Do not worry about what tommorrow will bring:

Psalm 37:1-4 (NIV)
Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; [2] for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. [3] Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. [4] Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
John 14:1 (NIV) "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

God controls our Government

Proverbs 21:1 (NKJV)
The King's heart is in the Lords hands, Like the rivers of water, He turns it whichever way He wishes



These verses are not something that we need to, or should debate upon. Rather, for those of you who are happy with the President-elect's victory, ponder this verses. And for those of you who have anxiety over this. Ponder these verses. Our God is in control. Not Allah, or any other god, Our God, Jehovah God the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. The next four years will be a change for many of the people reading this blog. But the next four years are ordained by the Heavenly Father from whom the "peace that passes all understanding" flows.
