God's Will

Churches give lip service to wanting God's will. With this election some are now saying "God is still in control" as though they need to be reminded of that. Maybe it's time to truly believe that God *is* in control and that the results of the elections, whether they are what you personally would prefer or not, are exactly what God has willed for us. We don't have to understand God's will; we just have to accept it.

True acceptance of God's will means not working against it. That means no preaching about how awful the world has suddenly become. No preaching about how the anti-christ is now walking in the White House. No preaching about how quickly the end of the world is coming "just look around you." It does mean praying that the Lord will use the Servant God has chosen to lead the country. It means allowing God to do whatever is best for this country without complaining because the Lord chose something different than what you thought was best. Amazing how we think we know better than God!! What arrogance!
