Thank You, Lord!
Lord of Heaven and earth, Lord of the Universe, Thou who art on the throne, and who ordains the powers that be, I praise and thank You.
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. Psalm 75:5,6
Against big money and Hollywood celebrities, film makers, pop idols, bestselling book writers, newspapers and TV networks, against world opinions and all kinds of pundits and pollsters, George Walker Bush won! People may make fun of him, hate him and his very face and name, say and write all kinds of things against him, but does Bush worry? No, he looks cool and upbeat most of the time, and as the night of vote counting begins. Here is a man who does not make decisions based on the polls or to seek the approval of the greatest majority, needing to pass a "global test". Many cannot understand him. Doesn't he care? Is he dumb? Is he heartless? Is he insane? Who does he think he is?
I think I know. It is because he knows who he is: a man under God. He is a man who has put his faith in the God of the Bible and who seeks His approval and will first, above all, and one who has chosen to live by His word and makes His rules his principles.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Isaiah 26:3
Lord, grant Mr. Bush and his team the strength equal to the tasks demanded of them in the coming days, and the wisdom they need. And grant them steadfast and growing faith in Thee.
