“…the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever He will.” (Daniel 4:17, 25)
When I was younger I was passionate about a lot of things that seemed of great importance to me at the time. As I have grown older I have become less so, and have reached the conclusion that passion may be good at times, but in most cases it is a fleeting zeal that soon becomes a thing of the past. It has been kind of fun to feel passion for a political candidate again but….
I just reviewed some of my posts with regard to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Those posts were written with passion and I honestly feel that, from my perspective, what I wrote was correct. And I would like to see if either of them, if elected, could turn the tide of our drift toward Socialism. However, when measured by the above passage of Scripture I must admit that the winner of the next election is not is the hands of passionate people, but in the hands of a sovereign God. And assuming the bible is true…
"…the LORD Most High is awesome, He is the Great King over all the earth” (Psalm 47:2)
So, assuming Donald Tump and/or Ted Cruz self-destruct because of their silly feud, or they just lose fair and square, I am going to be OK with it as long as I can believe that God “rules” as the “Great King over all the earth” and “gives it to whomever He will”…and I do.
