With God all things are possible - Matt. 19:26

 This is a very important day in our country.  Election Day is always important but there has been such insecurity and fear for these past nine months that really our choice today is not about person or party, it is about whether we choose to believe in the motto our country has had since 1956....IN GOD WE TRUST.

In my morning devotional today, this was the comment by L.B. Cowman:

"Our capacity for knowing God is enlarged when we are brought by Him into circumstances that cause us to exercise our faith.  So when difficulties block our paths, may we thank God that He is taking time to deal with us and then may we lean heavily on Him."

Today we are called upon to exercise our faith...that faith in the One who created all things (Col. 1:16).  None of the candidates running for public office today will fix anything apart from divine wisdom.  May the prayers of His people call upon Him to exercise His authority and His wisdom to work through these candidates and us to cause His perfect will to be done.

As our pillow says today:  "With God all things are possible".  He is our hope.  He is our peace.  He will give value to all people.  He will guide and reconcile according to His good purposes.  Can we continue to reject His word and His purposes and hope for peace?  I think not.

Do not despair, friend.  It is not too late to pray today for His purposes to be accomplished...for us to be a "blessed nation whose God is the Lord" (Ps. 33:12).

For further study:  2 Chron. 20:20,  Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 30:15, Jeremiah 9:24, Luke 1:45, Romans 13:1, Eph. 2:10, Col. 4:2, Hebrews 11:6.

Be blessed in your understanding of God's word and VOTE!

Love,

Holly
