Now What?

Okay, finally, the elections are over. Now what? Well, there is that dead time when the people coming out of office begin now to do less than they did while they were in office, if that is actually possible. And there is the time when those who have been re-elected begin to party, I mean celebrate their being trusted again for another term. But, I guess the biggest challenge comes to those who have made great promises so that they could get elected in the first place. Sometimes, I think the realization of being elected hits them and they realize they are accountable for all they said they would do. Now, we know that people will say what is necessary to get the trust of the people, but, we can rejoice over the fact that God isn't that way. When God says He will do something, you can mark it down - it will be done. Man will make promises with every intention to fulfill them, but find out that they simply cannot. It is beyond their power or authority to do so. Omnipotent God has the right and the ability to do exactly what He says He will do. Which means that, when He says "whosoever will may come" He means that no one is turned away. When He promises that He will "never leave you or forsake you", then you can count on His ever presence to comfort you in times of distress. And when He says "he that believeth is not condemned and he that believeth not is condemned already", you can rest assured that if you have put your faith and trust in Him alone, you are on your way to Heaven. You can also be sure that if you have done nothing, you are born on your way to hell and only you alone can change that by accepting His sacrifice for your sin. Okay, God doesn't have to win any election, but we do have to elect to accept Him. Have you?
