Politics, Elections and Such--Part Two

“Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power.  He controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings.”  Daniel 2:20-21

In just a few weeks, we will be voting for president, for senators and congressmen, and many local officials.  Experts say this is the most important election of our time.  Vote.  Our country has abandoned God and the things that He values.  This is one way we can make our voices heard.  But it’s not the only way.  Too often we put our hope in men.  We think our country’s problems will be solved if we have the right people in office.  But kings, presidents and politicians are put in office by God and they can be removed by God. If we forget that God is the all powerful one, not the president, we have the wrong view of world events.  Tax cuts, healthcare reform, immigration policies, budget changes are the works of men.  Only God can bring about a heart change in America.  Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.”
