"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His.
He changes times and seasons;
He sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
He reveals deep and hidden things;
He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers;
You have given me wisdom and power.
You have made known to me what we asked of you.
You have made known to us the dream of the king."
(Daniel 2:20 - 23)
May you seek the Father in whom dwells light as you vote today.

THanks for the reminder Rebekah - I was reading in Daniel last night and told Ryan it's so comforting knowing it's the same God who is still completely in control of the hearts and stature of the men in power. . ..whoever is in office. He alone is the one who can guide and change the heart. It's a challenge to me regarding my own prayerfulness!
A great prayer... especially for today. I am also doing a study in Daniel right now (referring to Amber's comment), and it's a wonderful reminder that the Lord has a plan with this nation despite all of the evil that takes place. He worked through Daniel during times of terrible leaders and deplorable values, and He will do it today with us.
p.s. Thanks for your comment on my blog... it was very encouraging! :)
wow, what encouraging words! thanks, Rebekah!
These words have been running through my head a lot these past few weeks. They give me a lot of peace and help me to trust more. Thanks for sharing them.
Amen! It is so encouraging to know that whatever happens, GOD is still on the THRONE!
Love you!
Amen! I am thankful to serve the King of Kings, Who IS and WAS and FOREVER SHALL BE.
I want to learn from Daniel's example and respect the position of our President but STAND for my true King when moral issues are at stake. What a timely season to study the book of Daniel. I am excited to get into the prophecy portion.
Love, Jill
