Okay, elections over, now what? 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Well, the election is over.  Just like a sporting events - some fans are happy, some are mad and upset.  Well, that is life.  Things happen and not always the way one wants.
   Last night in Bible study in Luke the mention of Jonah going to Nineveh.  The people turned away from their wicked ways.  Yet, later on they returned to those ways and forgot God.
  We in America prayed for the outcome of the election and most see God's hand at work.  It looks like we may turn from our evil ways.  However, it is not over.  We must continue praying for America, our leaders, whether democrat or republican or other.  If we forget God we will be in the same boat as Nineveh.
  1 Thessalonians 5: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
  Dear friend, please continue to pray. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace

Finally, the campaigns have stopped! 2 Chronicles 7:14

 Good morning everyone.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Well, the good news is all the campaigning and character bashing is over for the most part.  However, if you are a Trump fan, you know the harassment and ugliness will continue.
  If you are a Harris fan, then do as the Trump.supporters did 4 years ago--accept the outcome and move on.  The riots and burning need not happen.  Let's all be adults and move on.
  Many Christians prayed and asked God to be in control.  God is in control, we just do not think in the same realm as God.  We did not know what was in store in the upcoming election but we needed to embrace the outcome, whether Harris or Trump.
  We just need to look back at the Bible and see how God used many different people, some good, some bad.  Take Joseph for example. He had several bad things happen to him, yet he kept the faith and it turned out good. Be cast into a well, sold as a slave, accused of rape, in prison, then just a simple thing as interpreting a dream and he is ruler next to Pharaoh.
   In keeping the faith, many Christians saw the devastating rules/laws passed these last 4 years and then went to 2 Chronicles 7: 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
So, now we must continue to pray for our president, fight evil in our prayers and continue on.  God is in control, no matter what we encounter, just keep the faith.
   Thank you for reading today.   Yes,  today is a day to rejoice in the LORD, rejoice I say.  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
