I'm sure if that unless you were in a coma, or locked in a basement that last night we elected a new President of the United States. Very historic night for America. It will be very interesting to see what the next 4 years hold for us as a nation.
Last night I think what struck me the most is the level of adoration that people have placed on their candidates. Conversely, it also struck me the level of disdain they have for their opponents. Watching the returns come in, and seeing the 'victory' rallies and the acceptance speeches, I seriously got a sense that there are a lot of people who have pinned all of their hopes and dreams on weather or not their candidate got into office or not.
I think that happens a lot with people on a much lower level. People seem to think that if they only had the right job, house, friend, spouse or car (this list could continue) they wouldn't be as sad, angry, lonely, frustrated, (this list also could continue). Basically, people seem to think that there is some sort of tangible external 'thing' or person that can solve all of their problems and make all their wrongs right. Its quite sad, because the reality is that even if those 'things' provide any sort of satisfaction or sense of completeness, those feelings are usually temporary and eventually forgotten.
The good news is that God always satisfies. His love always endures. His hope is eternal and his mercy everlasting. If you're looking for hope, look no further than the King of Kings. He's got a fantastic domestic and international policy. He has a economic plan that will bless you, a health care plan that is out of this world, and a strong national defense. Put your hope in him today. He's the one who never fails, never bows to lobbyists, or allows pork in his spending bills.
He's still God. He's still on the throne. His administration lasts for ever.
Be blessed today.
Pastor Matt
