GOD Remains in Control

November 8, 2016.
An immensely important day in the history of the United States of America. Election day. While many seemed concerned, I turned to the word.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God"
Romans 13:1

"Submit yourselves for the Lords sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to the governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. Show power respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor."
1 Peter 2:13-17

"Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone."
Titus 3:1-2

"I urge, then, first of all, the petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quite lives in all godliness and holiness."
1 Timothy 2:1-2

God assures us in Romans, that all authority has been established by God. No mater the results, democratic or republican, God places our nations leaders in power. As stated in 1 Peter, as well as Titus, God commands us to submit to human power and to honor authority.
While God places individuals in positions of authority, he tells us in 1 Timothy to pray for those in authority.

As America waits and watches anxiously to see who the next president will be, I sit in peace. I know, that no matter the outcome, when I wake up tomorrow, God will still be King. He will remain in control, as he always has.

Until next time
