God is GOOD...ALL THE TIME!

God is good, not based on circumstances... it's an unchangeable fact that He is good at ALL TIMES.

Psalm 125 tells us that "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jesrusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people frim this time forth and forever."

Yesterday, the Lord led me to Isaiah 45:3 before all the election results came out, the verses go, "I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I the Lord, who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.""All things work together for those who love God and those who are called according to His purposes." The essence of our faith is hope, hope that is not found in this world, but in our Lord in heaven.

As most of you last night, I watched America elect our first black president. I had mixed emotions. It was a historic moment, that's for sure, now where do we go from here... There is only one person who holds the answer... our KING. The King that is over all things and all people, the King that we know and have access to through Christ Jesus, the King that has promised to protect and provide for us.

As my friend, Teresa Roy said once regarding concerns over this election, "My plan B is the rapture." Now, that's the Kingdom-perspective. I am rejoicing not over circumstances, but for whom I put my trust and hope in.

As we are called to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks always, today is a new day. We have prayed, pleaded, decreed, and I believe that our Father has heard our prayers. We don't stop praying, the battle belongs to God, He is Victory. The end of the story has already been written. Jesus overcomes!

My friends, let's not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we will reap what we sow. God's plan is ALWAYS BEST. Yes, we've prayed for His will be done, so we have trust that His plan for us has a hope and a future.

As in the 40 days for life campaign (which ended Nov. 2 for this year),to pray until we see the end of abortion in our land, people are committed to continue to pray and fast and spread the word throughout the year, the work continues on...

Let's add Barack Obama and every leader in our government in our prayers. Let's pray the Lord's supernatural wisdom, protection over them, and that there will be genuine and life-changing encounters between them and The Savior. Let's pray that God will guide our nation to restore the moral values established when she was founded. God can do ALL things, no matter who is king or president.

Let us never forget the enormity of our gift of salvation/eternal life in Jesus Christ and by our Father. And, that's the joy we celebrate each day!

God is GOOD, ALL THE TIME! Yes, His glory is seen today!
