Today, November 5, 2024, is Election Day in America...presidential election day, the Big One. And the word on the street and in the air and mainly in our brain is: OMG...what if S/He wins?
One of them will win, it is the how that causes anxiety. What we forget and must re-remember: The how is God's will, God's way always and all ways.
America torn apart is my fear...and here comes God to calm my self-centered fear. The recurring thought that I trust is: That which I fear may need to happen.
My idea of America torn apart may be God's gift, i.e., the rebirth of America by the righting of Americans. It is not America that has gotten off track, it is we, we Americans, who have.
We may need to be torn apart...that's a tish harsh...let's call it reconfigured, reborn is too evangelistic for me. All of us Americans may need to be reconfigured as God wills in God's way.
Here's when let go and let God earns its keep. We have learned that the harder we try, the harder we fall. Trust is now our handwarmer, our newest BFF.
We trust...we seek God's will, God's way...we don't like the looks of it...we trust. Repeatedly.
God guides us every Step of the way...we realize as we look back.
Jesus woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!' Then the wind ceased and there was a dead calm. He said to the disciples, 'Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?' —Mark 4:39–40
Thank you.
