Daniel 2:21-22 And he
changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up
kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know
understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is
in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Truly we are living in remarkable times! Today is
probably one of the most significant days of our lifetime, as Americans go
to the polls and decide the future of the United States. Of course,
voting is important, but let's be sure we know what we're voting for!
In 1938, Kenneth Simmons, a democratic mayor, wanted to prove a
point. So he hauled a mule, that he named Boston Curtis, down to the
courthouse, and placed its hoof print on all the documents necessary to run
for political office. Although Boston Curtis never ran a political
campaign, the citizens of Milton, Washington voted for Boston Curtis –
not realizing that they had actually voted for a MULE! Simmons wanted
to demonstrate that voters often "know not whom they support." I
would say he proved his point.
The decisions
made today will affect the world for years to come. But we should
never lose sight of the fact that the Lord sets up and removes kings
according to His perfect will and purpose; so whatever the
outcome of today's contest, let's be sure that the King of all Kings sits
on the throne of our hearts, and that EVERY outcome in this world
is under His sovereign will, for our good!(George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
