Today
when i open my lips
may i breathe life and healing
may i not get caught up in the singer or the singing
but may the object of the song leave my ears ringing
my heart spinning
my soul winning

In a few hours, barring major controversy, lawsuit, and other scandal or error and confusion, we will get to see who God has appointed as president for us, and how he feels our House and Senate should be balanced.

All speculation over who Jesus would vote for will be over and we will know what his will for our country is. This gives me great peace in this otherwise very stressful time.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. Romans 13:1-2

I wish I could have said it like this.

In God We Do Not Trust – Mark Driscoll.

…people are longing for a king who will keep them safe from terror in his kingdom. In the Old Testament the concept of a peaceable kingdom is marked by the word shalom. In shalom there is not only the absence of sin, war, strife, and suffering but also the presence of love, peace, harmony, and health. And, this thirst for shalom is so parched that every election people cannot help but naively believe that if their candidate simply wins shalom is sure to come despite sin and the curse. The bottom line is obvious to those with gospel eyes. People are longing for Jesus, and tragically left voting for mere presidential candidates.
