He knows what He’s doing even when we don’t.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daniel 2:20\u201322 says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPraise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
    wisdom and power are his.
21 <\/sup><\/strong>He changes times and seasons;
    he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
    and knowledge to the discerning.
22 <\/sup><\/strong>He reveals deep and hidden things;
    he knows what lies in darkness,
    and light dwells with him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Daniel 4:25 and 4:32 both say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sake of establishing the integrity and transparency of the election, I do think the allegations of fraud should be investigated. However, irrespective of the result of the investigation, as Christians, we must believe that God is in control. If Biden is president, the Word of God says that He placed him there. If the courts validate Trump\u2019s claims and it puts him back in, we\u2019ll know<\/span> God put him back! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, we must believe He gives the kingdoms of the earth to whom He chooses for His purposes. The Word of God says so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s purposes are for His Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s primary interest is His Church. We do not know what He is doing, but I suspect He is purifying His church for His soon coming. We know His Bride must be pure and spotless. Perhaps He will do that by creating a situation whereby we have to trust Him implicitly and be \u201cblameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which we shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of Life.\u201d (Phil. 2:15,16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s trust God’s wisdom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s not behave like the world, in anger, bitterness and suspicion, but trust God’s purposes. Jesus did not create a fuss against the plotting and treachery that put Him on the Cross. He entrusted Himself to His Father, and those religious hypocrites and Judas were the agents for the greatest act of mercy and redemption the world will ever know. God is in control. Jesus is described as full of grace and truth. Let’s display those same characteristics .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The darker it gets — and it’s looking pretty dark — the brighter we can shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
