This has been an unusual election cycle filled with vicious rhetoric, hyperbole, and fearful predictions of apocalyptic doom. Scrolling through my Facebook and Twitter feeds this morning, I found this Election Eve announcement everywhere.
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!
It's over. (HRC, DJT) has just been caught (lying, latest scandal).This shocking revelation totally ends the political hopes of (HRC, DJT) and assures that (HRC, DJT) will triumph. And if (HRC, DJT) doesn't win, it's because the election was (tampered with, influenced by outside sources) so that (HRC, DJT) couldn't win. We are in big trouble because now (HRC, DJT) will be elected instead of (HRC, DJT).So all you Christians out there better go out and vote for (HRC, DJT) because if you vote for (HRC, DJT) instead of (HRC, DJT) Satan wins!
Here's the thing. If Christians believe that the outcome of an election has more power than God our Father and Creator, Jesus our Redeemer and Hope, the Holy Spirit our Guide and Strength, then Satan has already won.
I understand that folks have strong feelings about the candidates. But we have lost our way if we place politics above our faith in God. When we wake up on Wednesday morning one of the candidates will be our new president. Some people will be thrilled with the result and others will be devastated. Whatever happens, the Kingdom of God cannot by shaken by the kingdoms of this world.
"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Christ Jesus is at the right hand of God and is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution of famine or danger? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31-39
So let's get up tomorrow and go vote for the candidate of our choice. And when we wake up on Wednesday morning, let's remember who we are in Christ Jesus and what a mighty God we serve.
