To God Be the Glory!

Nov. 6, 2012 millions of Americans went to the polls and re-elected President Obama for a 2nd term in office. A lot of us were dismayed late last night when the truth was revealed. People were ready to move in another direction and hopefully a direction that will lead toward prosperity. Yet, enough Americans thought that continuing the follow the leader and going forward in his direction was the right move for America.

Whether you agree with President Obama, or you are busy preparing for doomsday, God is still on His throne. As a mom I hope that my daughter learns that presidents come and go, but Jesus is King and He rules forever. Jesus knew what was going to happen last night, Jesus knows what is going to happen during this upcoming presidential term.

To God be the glory! God created us to love and serve Him, God gave us the free will to choose anything. Last night we Americans chose President Obama (and a majority of Democrats to fill Senate seats). We can also choose how we will react to this news. We can choose to praise God through this, or we can choose to be depressed and worried. We can choose to give God the glory that He deserves.

Whether you are pro-Obama or pro-Someone Else, let us use the current events to spur us on to spread the love of Jesus. Obama has 4 more years, but Jesus has forever. Obama has limited power, but Jesus' power is limitless. Obama surrounds himself with imperfect (human) advisers and makes human choices, Jesus has perfect knowledge and rules the world accordingly. May we see today (whether we consider it a victory or a concession) as a chance to get out and do the Lord's work and bring Him glory!

Let today be a day where you tell your children, "I used today to serve my King. I used today to share His love with others. I used today to focus on Him and heal what needed healing in my life. I used today to say To GOD BE THE GLORY!"
