Peace Be Still

Dear friends,

It is a bit after 11:30pm on election day and it was announced online a bit ago that we now have Obama as our president. Now don't get me wrong. I don't hate Obama himself as a person and I respect the role of a president but what I don't like is what he supports like prop. 2 and such. All I can say is that God is forever in control of all circumstances and I like this verse:

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

We don't know God's thoughts on this situation but I know that God has a purpose for what is happening every second of every day. I am definitely not happy with this situation but I know its all for a reason.
I got the title for this post from Rush Of Fools song, Peace Be Still. Here is a music clip of it that I took with my camera. Unfortunatly my camera ran out of memory at the last few seconds of the song. : P




I also take comfort in this verse:

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God has a plan for all of us and although we may have a calendar filled with events, God is the one who plans each day for us. He decides if we will have another breath or wake another morning. Dwell on thoughts and happiness and remember that God has a reason for all things.

P.S. If we could survive under Bill Clinton, we can handle these upcoming four years.

Also, I made this post RED, WHITE, and BLUE to be PATRIOTIC! : )
