The Morning After

So we take time to grieve for Ken Cuccinelli and his family, and for E.W. Jackson and his. I only got to hear a little of E.W.'s speech, but what I heard was true and powerful. The fight continues, and it is a fight against evil (my words). Abortion, gay marriage--things God abhors, and those who support it must be approached with love but firmness that sin is sin, and God's judgment will come as a result of these abominations. Other issues matter of course, but nothing compares to these issues. We all know the country will eventually crumble under the oppressive weight, but there was a flicker of hope in the preservation of Virginia. Yet still, I rejoice, because God tells us "joy cometh in the morning" and "Great is THY faithfulness". God is not moved by elections; His purposes are secure. The hope of Christians hasn't wavered, for politics has never saved a soul for eternity. I turn to Jeremiah 29 on a day like today. Plant gardens, have children, work, and live normally; at some point our God will deliver us from what is and what is to come.
