COUNTING ON THE LORD
Today's reading: Psalm 128-130

"I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word." Psalm 130:5 NLT

Election 2024 has been declared complete and a winner announced.

The election results leave our country as divided as before the polls opened--half of our country cheering the winner, the other half grumbling because their opponent lacked the votes.

I hope you took the opportunity to vote. To make your opinion known. To allow the United States of America to hear from you.

I did.

I took the time. I made the effort. I stood in line. I marked the little bubbles. I wore the 'I Voted' sticker proudly all day.

What I did not do?

I did not expect any single person on the ballot before me to be the one to fix the problems in our nation!

I am counting on the Lord to do that.

Not a political party. Not a sitting president. Not a house or a senate. Not a consortium of individuals. Not even a king.

Except the One True King.

My hope is in what God says in His Word, no if's, and's or but's about it.

Only when our hearts and minds, individually, turn to God, will our country, as a whole, turn to the Lord and our problems be fixed--at least as fixed as they will get this side of heaven!
