God Save Us

Seriously. That's all I can think/pray today. God, please save us. What occurred during the election last night (and I'm referring to the whole thing, not just the Presidential part) was absolutely bone-chilling to me. I sat on the couch next to my husband, watching the events of the evening with my blood running cold, a nauseated stomach, thinking "what am I witnessing here?" (By the way, if you are a liberal democrat/Obama supporter/pro-choice person, you may not want to read this post, and you've probably read too far already!) What I saw and felt last night was completely different than when Clinton was re-elected - that guy is just annoying, and almost comical. THIS guy, the person we're supposed to call President, strikes me as completely different. I believe he is evil incarnate. He's dangerous. He's arrogance just seeps through his pores. I have a hard time even looking at him (truly). He gives me the chills. Last night (on TV) I witnessed people practically worshiping him. People are totally enraptured by him. So, so frightening.

And beyond that, I saw stories today about groups of people celebrating - CELEBRATING - the fact that our abortion ban didn't pass. They are celebrating the fact that another 750+ babies will be killed next year in South Dakota simply as a form of birth control. Over 750 babies!! Sick. Twisted. Disgusting. Evil. These actions will not go unpunished, my friends.

As discouraged as I've been today, I can't imagine where I'd be if I didn't have a God who I know is soveriegn, who I know is on the only throne that matters, who I know has a plan in all of this wickedness, who is in fact vengeful and who ultimately will not be mocked. I allowed myself a day today to "process" but I won't allow myself to wallow or be depressed, because GOD is in control. Thank heavens!

Romans 12: 19: Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
