Today was a beautiful day at church. We had a brass ensemble playing along with our Christmas music! The church was decorated beautifully, and did I mention that we sang Christmas music! I love Christmas music!
During the sermon, the preacher was relating to his childhood at one point. He mentioned how everyone was worried that at any moment the communists were going to bomb America and that the world was going to destroy itself. He then said something that I found to be very profound. He said that the world is not in the hands of one maniac; it is in the hands of God. God has his own timeline.
It made me think of everyone after election day. Whoever voted for the guy that did not win usually thinks that the world is going to end. I remember when Obama was elected being the most obvious example. Being in Texas and growing up in a small community, most of the people I know voted for the other guy. I can remember some people saying that it was going to be the end of the world.
When the time comes for the end of the world, there will not be anything we can do to stop it. It will not be a matter of voting for the right person. God already has the end planned out. He is the one in control and we need to trust in his plan.
Sorry for the little rant...but that statement really stuck with me today.
