In Sunday School this past week our teacher made the point that "this is our day". It's easy to look at past generations and think that they must have had it so easy spiritually. They didn't have to fight all the moral issues that we have to face in our day. Judging from the polls, there's a good chance the election tomorrow may not go our way. This is not to say that I have given up hope, I'll spend my day tomorrow calling out to God to intervene, but if things don't go our way I refuse to throw up my hands in despair. The last few days I've kinda been feeling that "brand new feeling in the air". Could it be that the election of Obama could bring us a step closer to the day of our redemption, when our faith finally becomes sight. As Christians we shouldn't be surprised by all that's happening around us, ever read the Book of Revelation? Even the most sanctified person likes to be proven right every once in awhile. Something in me enjoys the mental picture of the left wing media falling to their knees in admittance that Jesus is King. C'mon people get your heads up, we're gonna be the winners in the end, and it could be closer than we think.
Here are a couple of songs that have been playing in my head today. Hopefully they'll help someone else be able to rejoice and remember that while things may look doom and gloom it's almost our time to "shine".

On Election Day I'll be attending a Moth Collection or at least that's what I was informed of by my son. I think it's supposed to be Mock Election, but I could be wrong.

Well said!!!
One thing my old brain does seem to remember quite clearly is that four years ago our current President was NEVER ahead in the polls, EVER...and yet he was the one that got elected! I definitely don't have a lot of faith in those polls.
I just hope we will know for sure by the end of the evening, I can't take another one of those "waiting for weeks to find out" times like we had eight years ago.
Hmmm... I think I would prefer the Moth Collection at this point. Enjoyed the post. It's good to remember the big picture!
Ah, yes... the big picture. Refreshing post, and as always, you left me smiling.
I agree...I've been feeling the same way!! Good post! We are praying for elections...but we KNOW that God has EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL!! =)
