On election day, I thought it would be fitting to write words of encouragement to our divided beloved America–so divided and torn from internal conflict and political division. Maybe I am writing this for myself as I prepare for the results of the election or maybe it is a reminder to each of us that regardless of the outcome–God is sovereign over our nation. According to Scripture, He raises up leaders, often giving nations what they deserve, and deposes leaders.
God is on His eternal throne and makes everything work out according to HIS PLAN. God’s sovereignty covers the earth–for His purposes as He unfolds history–His story, according to His preordained plan. He turns the heart of a nation as He changes the flow of a river.
As a people, we will vote for more of the same, or we will vote for true change! Each of us will make a decision that takes our national forward–according to God’s plan and purposes, and He does as He pleases. Romans 9:15 says, I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.
It is my prayer that God will look down and have mercy and compassion on America and bring us repentance and lasting revival we so desperately need–for truly we are a people who “does whatever seems right in our own eyes.” Pray for America that she will once again become a God-fearing nation and have peace she is in the palm of God’s hand.
Thank you Brenda for these comforting thoughts. God has blessed America…
Cheryl, in the middle of the American political meltdown, we have to hold on to the fact that truly God is in control and sovereign over all things. To me that is very confronting to know He IS IN CONTROL of all things.
You always do the right thing. God Bless you.
Thank you
That was a kind comment.
Good post! I read your blog often and you always post excellent content. I posted this article on Facebook and my followers like it. Thanks for writing this!
Hi Julie, thanks for posting to your Facebook page. I am trying to write relevant content, and hopefully will be more consistent in getting content out. My new book Whispers of the Spirit just launched, so I have been preoccupied with the book for a few weeks. I would love to continue conversation.
Julie, it is posts like yours that encourage me to keep writing. It is easy for me to think, “no one is reading any of this anyway, so why bother,” so I am delighted you are reading. Please stay in touch.

Melissa, thanks about your nice comments about the blog. I am trying to write about a variety of things–some often times seem rather random. I would love to continue to have conversation with you online. I welcome your comments.
People are certainly looking for peace in the midst of the American storm. So glad you are benefiting from reading my posts. I will keep writing and I pray you will keep reading. Let’s stay in conversation.
