Election Day

Last night, I layed in bed wondering the future state, and leadership our nation was facing. I didn't know what, or who to pray for. I know that all authority is under God, and at this point, on the day of the election, I am still torn as to who God would prefer to be leading our country. However, as I turn on CNN, for some strange reason, God is making it quite clear who He has chosen to lead our nation. I'm not sure why, but I do know that we are called to trust that God is in control, and is over all authority, even our president. This has been one of the most historical elections to this day, and I know it is by far the most historical since I was born, and I am searching to find God in the midst of our future President. Ya see, I am not a big politician, and I do truely believe, that God had picked our president for the next few years long before we had even thought of who it might be, and I am totally confident that God is in control, and will protect our nation, and has a plan and a purpose behind this election.

As I went to the polls today and stood in line for an hour, or longer, watching thousands of people complain about why we didn't have more voting booths, and why it was taking so long to vote. At that moment, I knew that we could figure out the problems with our nation just by standing in line at the polls today. We complain about everything. Paul writes to the people of Philippi, and he says in Chapter 2, "Do everything without complaining," could you imagine what our nation would be like if we obeyed that simple scripture?

I am not out to talk politics, but each day, or every other day, I plan to write and provide the readers with a "word on the way" if you will, a few short thoughts from the life of Toe's and pertaining to God's Word.

My true candidate for president: Jesus Christ.
Praise the Lord!

Be Blessed,
Toes
