What do you Know, the 2020 Election is Still a Work in Progress!

It was my plan to publish an essay on the results of the 2020 Presidential Election but, rather surprisingly, the results of the election are still being not only counted, but disputed as well!

While the globalist media seems to have made a decision regarding the identity of the next president; that will not necessarily be the final outcome. The media does not elect the president, the Electoral College does that!

It is not really clear when all of this will finally be resolved; but it certainly seems clear it will wind up in the courts.

It seems rather fitting that this exceptional election should take place in what has otherwise been a very exceptional year. None of this has caught the Lord by surprise; he has known from the beginning how this year would play out and what the final results will be.

There is anger and frustration in both the Democrat and Republican Parties as they struggle with votes and counting of votes in an effort to achieve their desired results. This anger and frustration is shared, to some degree, by the citizens who voted in this election and hoped to see their candidate victorious.

A Moment of Truth for Christians!

What should our reaction, as Christians, be to the uncertainty surrounding this election?

If we are to believe the Bible, and we certainly should, then God is working all this in accordance with his divine will. If this is all in accordance with God’s will, and I’m convinced it is, then we, as Christians, should be at peace as we watch God’s will unfold before our eyes.

I believe it would be safe to say, the extent you are in the least disturbed by these events is the extent you are living your life by sight rather than by faith!

I refer to a sense of inner peace which is a product of the Holy Spirit as described in Galatians 5:22-23 where it is written:

²² But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

It is this sense of peace which should not be forfeited as a result of circumstances; this is the life of peace with God!

This is another one of those Proverbs 3:5-6 moments in life:

“⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.
⁶ Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.”

It is easy to experience a feeling of helplessness in a situation like this, but it is vitally important to remember God, is in complete control of everything!

The Spirit Led Life!

Let the Holy Spirit be your guide and just rejoice in the Lord!

⁴ Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! ⁵ Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

⁶ Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. ⁷ Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

⁸ And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. ⁹ Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

I will continue to monitor this election until God’s will for the United States is finally revealed.
