Presidential Election Results



" 'For I have set My face against this city for harm and not for good,' declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 21:10a)

"Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am going to set My face against you for woe, even to cut off all Judah...Behold, I am watching over them for harm and not for good...' " (Jeremiah 44:11, 27a)

" 'I will set My eyes against them for evil and not for good.' " (Amos 9:4b)


God's great promise to men is forgiveness, His unlimited welcome and blessing to all who will accept it, in Jesus Christ.

But not all accept God's offer. Many who crowd around Him for His protection, show by their deeds that their hearts are far from Him.

God is not fooled. His promise to the false-hearted is that He will watch over them for destruction.

It's early to call the presidential election, before the parties have named their choices. But we already know this...

Whatever the parties do to elect their candidates, and despite Americans' prideful boast they choose their own leader...God will pick America's next leader. He will give us exactly the president HE determines will be His right minister to America. If He is pleased to bless America, He will give us "...a minister of God to you for good" (Romans 13:4): and He will give us "...a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath..." (ibid) if His face is set against America for harm and not for good.

The most important thing the election will show us is what God's heart is toward America.
