Election Day

Tomorrow is election day. While I definitely have my preference I will not let the outcome drive me to the remorse that some feel nor if it goes the way that I prefer will I be dancing in the street. The reason, while I live in this country my citizenship is in another kingdom. It took me a long while to learn this lesson. For too long in my life I have been a Christian American. Now I am a Christian who is an American. It may sound like I am playing with semantics but the truth is my faith is no longer in the American system, it is in God. I try to take of the blinders of nationalism and the partisan politics that goes along with it. While I love my country and am thankful that God has allowed me to live here, my hope lies with a king. So tomorrow while most are worried about who the next president will be and the "news reporters" will be tripping all over themselves to announce the latest results I can rest assured that all is well because God is still in control. No matter who wins, He still reigns.
