Our GOD is a GOD of peace!
November 5th, 2008 by Monica KillenI know the recent election has caused many of us to pause. We have some very interesting days ahead of us. With a new President who supports so many things we oppose, who knows how our lives are going to change. We are going to have to fight harder for our right homeschool, I believe. In my devo this morning, I came across this scripture: “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54:10 NIV).
Thank-you Lord for that wonderful reminder this morning that no matter what happens in life, you Love Me. Our mountains are about to be shaken and the hills removed, but God will be right there beside us all - loving us! We will submit to the new authority God has placed above us on this earth and we need to pray for Obama and his soul and his governing of this country. In another email I received this morning, someone so wonderfully put this that I just had to share with you all:
Our GOD is a GOD of peace. I will rest in HIM even in the face of what seems to be defeat. The people wanted a king and they got the king. (1 Samuel 8:6-21) GOD sees our hearts and HE knows who are faithful. Our greatest chance to shine is in the darkness. I do not believe it will be easy, but my Redeemer lives. My heart is heavy, but I will continue to praise HIM. Our GOD is an awesome GOD!!!!
Bless you all!

Well said, sister! Great post. I read an email lately that basically made the point that God remains on His throne regardless of who is elected president. I’m with you…trusting in the one that holds us all in the palm of His hand. Love you! E
