Perspective on Today’s Election

American’s are headed to the polls, and all signs point to tight race and thus, a divided country. Before we know the outcome, I’d like to offer these words of perspective:

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:1-3

Kings, presidents and leaders are going to come and go. It’s not that they’re no important, they are and we need to pray for them. It’s just our hope has never been in our leaders. It has always been in the one who is the timeless, holy backdrop to every president’s term. It’s in the one whose magnificence fills the heavens. It’s in the one who–when the best that men have to offer fails, dies, or loses an election–stands as the eternal King of the Ages. Therein lies our hope, and whatever happens today pales in comparison.

So, vote your conscience today. Pray for and support the winner. And then, look up:

I lift up my eyes to the hills– where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
