In just a few short hours, our country will have a new leader.  

And some people are nervous.

But not me.  

Do you know why?

Because “…the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes…”  Daniel 4:17 (NIV)

Translation:  God is in control and He does whatever He wants when it comes to earthly leadership positions.  

I’m not saying we shouldn’t vote or that we shouldn’t care about the election process. I think God accomplishes most of what He does in this world through people.  

But at the same time, I’m also saying that Heaven rules no matter who on earth is appointed as the ruler.  

So, no matter who wins, please don’t freak out.

Because God isn’t.
