Before You Vote: Spoiler Alert! - Duration: 3:34.I don't know if you know this, but the world is crazy.
There's pedophilia and pornography and moral scandals.
There's lies, there's deceit.
It doesn't seem like there's a Christian leader in sight.
There's wars. There's rumors of wars. There's murder.
You know what's even crazier?
That the Christians who lived 2000 years ago, the very first generation of Christians,
could have said the same thing as they ruled with the Romans.
Moral decay and all this corruption.
So, where does this put this?
Do you ever wonder, like,
"God if you are in control
"and you can make the nations do whatever you want,
"why do you let the people that are so far from you rule the nations?
"Why do you let this happen?"
Well, once in a while, God pulls back the curtain of prophesy.
And, we see that in the book of Daniel.
And he has this statue and it shows a couple things.
It shows that the Babylonians were going to be defeated by the Persians.
And then the Persians by the Greeks.
And then the Greeks by the Romans.
"But still God, what are You doing?"
Like why do you let them thrive?
Well, we see that God even works through those ways.
He lets Pharaoh
bend to his will to let his people go.
We see God, unbeknownst to Pilate,
crucify the Savior of the world.
And you think, Nero and Diocletian were thinking,
"Well, this is going to spread the Christianity faith"
as they persecuted them?
No.
But God's in control, so what does this mean?
I don't know what's going to happen next week.
I have no idea.
But, I do know this.
That God is absolutely in control.
And there's no man, there's no woman,
there's no political country
that is outside of God's influence.
But, you know what I do when I'm really feeling a little bit scared?
A little bit worried about where things are going?
I think of passages back from when I was a kid.
And this is from Isaiah, chapter 9 that tells us what kind of God we have.
This is Isaiah, chapter 9.
And it's a prophecy.
No matter who's in office now,
their rule is going to end.
But God's reign
lasts forever.
So, go be salt and light in the world.
Be an informed voter and advocate and look out for our country.
And take a stand
to let God's will permeate,
but also know that God took a stand on this earth
and he went to a cross
so that we don't have to worry about this earth
because we have a place to go.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Father, the world is crazy.
You lived in it as you came here.
You left Your kingdom to come here.
The world crucified you and rejected you.
We pray that we have a heart that knows you
and that we have a heart that recognizes that
we can't control the world
but you can.
And when we don't understand it, we pray that we just humbly accept your will
and understand that you're going to make things work
the way that you want them to work
so that your plan always happens for the people that love you.
We ask this in Your name.
Amen.
One of the best things that we have at Your Time of Grace
is a community of people that is helpful.
And I gave a passage that I shared when I feel a little bit overwhelmed.
Can you share one of the passages that means a lot to you
and that you think of when you feel a little bit overwhelmed,
when the world seems a little bit crazy?
Thanks so much. And you can put that below.
