If you are at all like me, some of the things that are done by politicians and government make you very frustrated.  However, we are so blessed to live in a world and time dominated by democracy. (rule of the “people”)

We know however that we live in a world of sinners influenced by the devil and the “people” may not be following the conscience that God gave them; one of the unfortunate results is bad government.

We must not let this defeat our Peace and Joy.  We need to remember that our God controls it all.  Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”  NKJV

We can live our lives in the faith that our God has it all under control.  We need not worry about the evil in the world.

Dear Lord, give us the Peace of knowing that you are all powerful.  Remind us to ask you for your influence in our world, and help us do our part to spread your influence.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.
