I read this article back in June just before my wedding and realized I was a candidate for 'news fatigue.' I suppose my entire generation is at risk, according to the report, but I find myself especially susceptible during this absorbing political season. We have to be careful, though, friends. Balance your news with the Word of God. When I don't I not only get news fatigue, I also get gloomy about the future. And that is unacceptable for a child of the King who has the hope of Heaven. I will confess, however, as election anxiety creeps in I begin to somehow start putting faith in people (yikes) and (Lord, forgive me) politicians (who are often the lesser of two evils).
But in my time with the Lord this morning I was reminded of an important truth in my reading through Proverbs:
"The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will."
--Proverbs 21:1
I am thankful that I serve the Sovereign of the Universe, who is actively involved in the affairs of men, bringing history to a God-glorifying apex. No matter the outcome, this election will not throw off the plans of God the Father. It was sweet to be reminded of this promise and I'm carrying it with me into this November 4th and beyond.
