Election Woes…

I’m so tired of all of the election banter…democrat vs. republican…wrong vs. right. I am very concerned about our country and the direction we are headed. I listen to the commercials, the debates, read the articles, listen to the utube reports from days gone by and it scares me. Do we really know who these men and women are?

The one thing I do know is that I/we must be in constant prayer for our country, its leaders, and the election. We must pray for God’s man and woman to be placed in authority and that they will act according to His will.

As I read Psalms 5, I felt better for God is large and in charge…and no matter who wins the election, I know who will ultimately win the victory over death and the grave…and if America goes to Hell, I don’t have to go because I have a home in Heaven with my Savior Jesus Christ!

Lead on Oh King Eternal! Psalm 5
For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,
Consider my sighing. !

2 Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
For to you I pray.

3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
In the morning I lay my requests before you
And wait in expectation.

4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;


5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
You hate all who do wrong.

6 You destroy those who tell lies;
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men
The LORD abhors.

7 But I, by your great mercy,
Will come into your house;
In reverence will I bow down?
Toward your holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
Because of my enemies—
Make straight your way before me.

9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
Their heart is filled with destruction.
Their throat is an open grave;
With their tongue they speak deceit.

10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
For they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
Let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
That those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
You surround them with your favor as with a shield.
