2024 Election Eve Night

 I find it a bit disheartening so many people fighting with each other over this election. I don't mean complete strangers, I'm talking people who know each other.  Whether it's "real" friends or Facebook friends, or other internet social media connections where people have known each other for years or even over a decade. 

What is going to happen tomorrow, or actually, whenever they determine who the winner is? One FB friend posted on her timeline: "In case anyone needs a reason to delete me, F*** TRUMP!".  Another tells everyone you shouldn't own TV's and they don't like either candidate (which is fair enough).  Then Christians bickering with each other. 

I've done my share of debating about this, but not really with people I know, excepting making a statement to a particular person who got on my FB after I made a post about this upcoming election. I consider her a friend. We may not be best buddies but we've certainly known each other since JS (Journalspace) days.  

The thing about this whole situation is, is that all of this hatred, anger and vitriol has been created - and I believe intentionally - by think tanks and media elitists and politicians who want civil unrest, who want the citizenry to be at odds with each other.  This kind of thing is straight out of the pages of Marxist Communist Manifesto.  

I don't think the outcome of this election is going to change any of the hostility that is being goaded by those who have the ears of the media outlets.  I think it will worsen 100 fold regardless of who wins.  

I just shrug my shoulders. God is in control. There is plenty of scripture to back up the idea that whoever is in a position of governing, and usually referring to kings but it applies to whoever is in control of any given nation, that person is installed there by God.  That none of what is going on in any particular place with whoever is ruling or governing isn't there by accident.  

Simply because one candidate represents evil, or appears to anyway, doesn't mean that person isn't the choosing of the Lord. He sees the end from the beginning, the entire thing is all laid out before Him.  We don't see that and we cannot understand that. That is where trust comes into play, you trust the Lord to do whatever is in accordance with His word and for the ending He is looking for and has already decreed.  

Not some mere mortal man or woman.  

So, if Harris does indeed win, I have to trust God that that is His will and it will somehow bring glory to His holy name and expand His eternal Kingdom.  I'm not voting for Harris, I will say that here and now.  Unless I get something from the Lord that tells me to do so - vote for her that is - I am voting for Trump. Not because he is a saint, he clearly is not, but then again, neither is Harris.  I'm voting for Trump because he will take back the rightful position this nation has in this world, including standing up for our ally Israel.  Harris has proclaimed her sides.  She may say she's anti-Hamas, but she also stands for this idea that Israel is somehow committing genocide against the Palestinians.  The war over there is not targeting innocent civilians by choice. 

But, even if the US didn't stand with Israel at all, a thing I hope never happens, God is still sitting on His throne and He will have His way regardless of what any nation or group of nations standing together in defiance have to say or do about it.  

That's it.  It is election even night, literally night time.  I will vote after work tomorrow.  I'm not going to lose my mind if Harris wins and I am not going to be gloating if Trump wins.  This is not a time for that.  It's going to rain and there is going to be thunder much of the night if the forecast is even remotely close to being accurate.  

So, I'm going to go to bed soon and not worry about what tomorrow brings, the Lord specifically tells us not to do that anyway, certainly with things that are completely out of our control.
