Election Stress

Trump this, Hillary that. He said this. She did that. Two party system sucks. Emails. Promoting rape.

Today was the day that would never come in my head. Trump vs. Hillary. But this post isn't going to be a rant on any of the things mentioned above.

I stress when other people get stressed. So to be completely honest, yeah this election is stressing me out. But I've been finding peace in a few things.

No matter who is president, whether it be Trump, Hillary, Bush, Lincoln, God is still God. And as my good friend Bobbi said, when things fall apart people start to look to Jesus, so there is still redemption. I've been looking at Ecclesiastes 3:11 more and more often to remind myself that things happen in God's time. He'll reveal to us why things are happening when He does. We might be asking, "God, what the heck. Really? Trump or Hillary?" And yeah I've literally asked that. And who knows? Maybe we won't know the answer in the immediate future. But it's in God's hands, and my life is a personal testimony to the fact that He hasn't failed me yet and I know He won't fail me now or ever.

Who knows? Maybe this is the opportunity for believers to begin to show the world a love that is unwavering and so necessary. Am I happy with the result of this election? No. But can I rest in the fact that God is still God? Yes.

I'm not sure what the next four to eight years will hold, but I know that God is in control, that God is still God, and that He still loves everyone relentlessly and that He will remain faithful to us.

Faithful You have been and faithful you will be You pledge yourself to me and it's why I sing
