How to Deal with Post Election Grief and/or Pride

Of all the people I know, I have invested the least amount of emotional energy into this election season.  I just did not make the time to put energy into it.  But check this out: I'm tired!  When I read the news this morning, I felt the pain of the Democrats and I felt the pride of the Republicans.  And I carried that weight with me this morning.  It was an interesting feeling.  I thought to myself, how heavy is THAT weight; namely, to put all of my hope in a person or in a political party only to have my hopes and dreams of what I thought to be a Great America shot down.  That is super heavy and my heart breaks for those who put their faith in a candidate or in a political party.

And I can't help but think what God was thinking this entire time.  I wonder what his attitude was toward those who call themselves Christ followers or children of God.  Was God like, "hello people.  I am in control.  I've been in control.  I got this people!  Ever heard of Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin, Nero???  All dead.  I'm still alive.  I controlled history back then and I'm still on the throne.  What now?  You people think that it matters to me who is president?  I have things to do and a kingdom to build.  1,000 of your years is how long it takes me to sneeze.  I got this.

Or perhaps little tiny rulers on planet earth do affect how God rules?  No.  Never mind.  That's just too silly.  I'll stick to what I said earlier.

The results are in: Jesus Christ is still on this throne and he's got this....

Be blessed and go kill some sin and glorify HIM.
