The 2020 election is being billed as the most important election of our lifetime. It’s supposedly an election that will change the course of our country, the course of history, and the course of our children’s futures.
Talk about a lot of pressure.
I’ve already voted, and, for me, the choice was an easy one. I voted for religious freedom and liberty. I voted for my son’s life in the years to come. And naturally, I want my candidate to win.
But I know that whoever wins this election, my King is still on the throne.
but to the Son:
Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.(Hebrews 1:8, CSB)
Jesus is the ultimate King, and He is always at work with His plans for our ultimate good and His glory—even when it’s difficult for us to see that. In fact, we may not know what God is up to until we’re with Him in eternity. I’m so thankful that my life and my son’s life do not depend on the President of the United States. Our salvation comes from the Lord alone.
God reigns forever. He is the God of justice, and He has already defeated evil. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father in the Kingdom. And one day, He will come again with the new Jerusalem!
But based on his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
(1 Peter 3:13)
So on election day, and on every other day, I will wait for the Lord. I will ask God for His peace that surpasses all understanding, for strength and courage, and for ultimate joy in Him.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord.
