Perspective

I ran across these verses and thoughts as we consider the outcome of the elections -- no matter what that will be, no matter who you supported at the polls -- and found this very encouraging:

Daniel 2:21 - "It is He (the God of heaven)...who removes kings and establishes kings."

Job 42:2 - "I know that You (the God of Israel) can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted."

"It is the Lord God who will ultimately decide who will lead the American nation through tubulent times ahead. He also decides who will lead Israel, Iran, Iraq, and all the other nations of the world. His will cannot be thwarted. Let us, therefore, pray that His will would be done.

Good references from the Bible showing no matter what happens we still have to trust God for the outcome.
We had terrible wind yesterday and again today. Sure makes harvesting difficult. Just a few sprinkles yesterday and looks like it might be a close miss today for moisture.
Poor results got Ron Prince to move on. You guys must have complained loud enough.
Have fun with your leaves.
Love to both of you.

We are reminding ourselves and our kids of the sovereignty of our God. Thanks for the post!
