With an historic election day coming up next week most people are in a state of worry. What if the person I oppose gets elected? What about the predicted violence following Election Day? What happens if police departments are all defunded? What will our family finances look like after the election? Those are just a few of the questions that plague the minds and hearts of many people. Recently I visited with some people who reported they are unable to sleep well and they feel a constant sense of anxiety as election day approaches. God has a great calming answer to all the possibilities of the future days.
Mat 10:29-31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” You see the great God of the universe cares about every detail of our lives. He will always do what is best for us and what brings Him the most glory. Generally it is not easy or comfortable times that are best for us, but rather difficult days. The greatest possible thing in our lives is to learn to have our full confidence in God. Our only hope for peace within our souls comes from trusting Him and we will only fully trust Him when we know Him well. This involves reading His word every day and spending time meditating on it.
This Thursday morning we will be discussing the beautiful and encouraging thought that God is our good Father. Please plan to join us at 9:30 at Harborview Fellowship (or join us on Livestream) as we encourage one another to trust God and set aside our worries about the future.
The following podcast by Al Mohler brings a great Biblical perspective to our current election.
