Last evening a President was elected to another term of office in the United States.

It was a measured victory with half of the nation voting for the other candidate.  Such a divided vote speaks to the reality that we are a nation divided on many issues, serious issues that continue to profoundly change America.  We have seen historically what occurs when a nation continually turns from the principles of God’s Word to walk in its own ways. 

As you might imagine, there are many voters who are concerned with the outcome of this election. 

While I am certain that we as believers must continue to make our prayers heard in the gates of our respective nations, I also want to remind us of our true purpose.

Can you believe that Christmas Day is less than a month away!

This is the time of year when we get out the Christmas decorations that have been stored away since the last holiday season. Many memories flood our mind as we look at things that remind us of Christmases past. Treasured, special times we have had with family and friends.

What a joyous time of year this is. The air is filled with preparation, expectation, and excitement as we move towards the day when we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

I have such excitement in my spirit about this New Year. It is not based on the negative thinking that can come by looking at the earthly kingdom our feet are standing on, but by walking with our hearts and minds firmly focused on the reality of the Heavenly Kingdom we are on earth representing.
