I keep thinking about something our Pastor said last Sunday. The past couple of weeks, much of the "sermon" (different than most sermons..ours is a 45 minute teaching with real world application that is based on biblical truth) was about the election. I thought that was great.
Pastor Bill said that he had talked to many people of faith between Nov 4th and last sunday that had strong emotions regarding the election of Obama. He talked to some believers that felt absolutely euphoric that Obama was elected... they still hadn't come home from the party yet. He also talked to some believers that were absolutely angry that Obama was elected.
He said, "Both reactions from believers, from people of faith, are overly exaggerated and inappropriate. The same God that was on the throne Tuesday morning was on the throne Wednesday morning".
What a great reminder. God was not surprised by the results of the election; God is not wondering how Barack will change the United States; God does not feel threatened or overjoyed with a Democratic majority; because He is in control. Amen to that.
