Hold Fast

Today our great nation elected a new President. These are uncertain times for our country, and to be perfectly honest, my heart is feeling heavy. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow or how we all will be affected. But I do know this: our God is so much bigger than politics. He said He would never leave us or forsake us, and tonight, I am resting in that promise. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Lord said, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Remember~
Presidents come and go, but He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Let's put our trust in Him.

Love,

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

~Ephesians 6:10-18
