Tuesday's election is not as significant as the implications in your post, joanie.
God is still at work, and so is the Enemy, who is not going to roll over and give up on his desire to strangle this country. But God hasn't given up on us either.
There are signs of spiritual revival in America, and there were encouraging things that happened on Tuesday as well, so that your despair and defeatism, I believe, are not from the Lord.
He has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of confidence in His power and strength.
Tuesday's election was a big wake-up call if anyone was getting complacent, but it is not a sign that the battle is over.
Rather than causing us to throw up our hands in defeat, it should motivate us to renewed prayer and purpose and political involvement, and that is what I am doing.
God is faithful, and as long as the remnant in America is faithful to Him, He will not abandon us.
On the other hand, what Satan wants us to do is to be discouraged. Don't let him win, joanie.
You know I respect you tremendously...
.. I see wisdom in both posts, yours and joanies.
I haven't given up, and I'm sure joanie hasn't...and I know you haven't.
..we're all a little world weary right now, aren't we
I'm not factoring out God. .....and I never will!!
Regards....
World weary, indeed. But never without hope!
(This world is not my home.....I'm just a passin through..... :)

Instead, I am volunteering at a school, to help encourage the love of learning, to set an example, and to encourage kids to do the right thing.
If a lot of us did this, we could counter the liberal mind-set. Volunteering in schools, for non-profits, for our churches, everywhere. In other words, to be "citizens, not spectators" as the President once said.
We must change the mindset of the people, and waiting for the government or the media to do this is fruitless. We must do it ourselves.
