This morning I began reading in the book of James. Made me think of our voting and election today.
"Don't ever forget that it is best to listen much, speak little, and not become angry for anger doesn't make us good, as God demands that we must be."
~ James 2:19 & 20 LAB
The Bible Commentary (in part): "This verse speaks of anger that erupts when our egos are bruised...my opinions are not being heard. When injustices occur, we may become angry because others are being hurt....."
Or we don't get our way!
We are voting for leaders in our counties, state, and nation. Chances are pretty good that some of who we vote for will win the election; some will not!
We need to stop and praise God before we learn of the outcomes!
Thank You, God, that You have everything
under control......even ALL
of our leaders.
Thank You for the election
and the people who will win the election.
Help us to focus on You
and not on the things we may
or may not like.
You have taken care of us
in the past.
And You will take care of us
in the future!
We praise
and thank You!
Amen.
