Scriptures to Consider on Voting Day

Daniel 4:35
all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and He does according to His will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay His hand or say to Him, "What have You done?"

Psalm 115:3
Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

Proverbs 21:1
The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.

Daniel 2:20-22
Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

1Samauel 8:4-9
8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah 8:5 and said to him, "Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations." 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. 8:8 According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. 8:9 Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them."

I particularly like the Daniel 4 verse; it's one of my favorites.

Voted this morning. God's still on the throne, eh?

Just got back from voting.

The Lord will do as He pleases with the final results.

Another applicable verse:

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
