the LORD reigns!

The LORD reigns... and there is no unrighteousness in Him. (Ps.93:1,92:15).

We Christians in the West tend to fear our freedoms being taken away. Our brothers and sisters in hard places rather fear that they might dishonor the name of Christ. They pray, not for times to be easier, but that they might not fail Him.

We should learn from them. Richard Wurmbrand, in prison, put it something like this (in an article I can't find any more...), "what law of God is there that I could obey better in other circumstances? I will not pray to be free..." and he was right. Our flesh could wish for easier times. But our spirits can obey God by His grace just as well in any circumstances.

May we not be afraid, no matter what the election results may be. Trust Jehovah who reigns over all! His goals are not primarily for America's good, but for His Kingdom's good. Nations rise and fall, but His Kingdom is the one that will stand forever, the rock that became a mountain and filled the whole earth! (Dan.2:34-35,44).
