Election-Eve Jitters
Who will win this election tomorrow? Does anybody really know? What impact will it have on our lives in this country? Will we see radical changes in the way things are done, with Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress and the Presidency? Or will moderation reign, even with a Democratic majority? I think some surprises await us tomorrow and definitely into the future. I noticed that GM is in serious trouble today, asking the government for help in financing a merger with Chrysler, and Ford's stock is trading at about $2 a share. With all this going on, I find comfort in Jesus' words: "do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:25-27, 33-34).
