Post election results

 

Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word

 

Da 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

 

On this morning after the presidential election in America, it appears Donald Trump was the winner and will return to the office that he held from 2016-2020.

 

Some of you will gloat, (please don’t) others will grumble, (please don’t) rather, based on this scripture from Daniel,  and  Ro 13:1 we ought to be thankful, and we ought to view all election results through the lens of the Word of God!

 

Rom 13:1 Says, “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

 

And incredibly,  not one ruler or king is immune to the will of God! God is able to turn the heart any which way He chooses. Pr 21:1 assures us, “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

 

In the meantime let us pray for the winners! Pray that the Lord would grant wisdom and knowledge to all elected officials! Pray as we are encouraged to do in 1Ti 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

The Lord concerns Himself with the leaders of the land and their policies. Be thankful for them.  Pray for an atmosphere conducive to a quiet and peaceful life in the land. which are marks of the followers of Christ, and above all pray and work for revival in America for it is God’s ultimate desire that all men, Republicans, Democrats  and all others to come to the knowledge of truth.

 

The knowledge of God’s truth is simply this: We are all sinners in need of a Savior and God sent His only Son into the world for that purpose, Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
