Another Election

Another election cycle has come and gone. Many are celebrating. Many are concerned. Many are confused. Wherever your emotions rest this morning, I pray that you rest in one eternal truth that sees us through every year, every day, every breath.

God is still on the throne, and Jesus Christ is still Lord.

Elections matter; I do not deny that truth. They change day-to-day interactions within culture, the marketplace, and even the workforce. Yet, they are not the source of our hope, just as they are not the source of our life. Regardless of the day or the circumstances, may we always lean into Christ’s everlasting arms, for they will never fail us.

Here are just a few pieces of scripture to help center us on the throne and not get blown about by the winds of change in any form.

Peace in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Pastor Jon

30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

8 But of the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.

9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
    every knee should bend,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
    that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.
