No matter who wins today's election, tomorrow GOD will still be there.
Since this is true, what do I really have to "worry" about? Those things
that I really need in this world will be there, and since GOD is first
and foremost on my list, TOMORROW is going to be a very good day.
Why? Jesus said so...
Matthew, Chapter 6 (World English Bible)
Mat 6:24, “No one can serve two masters, for
either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be
devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and
Mammon.
Mat 6:25, Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Mat 6:26, See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
Mat 6:27, “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment* to his lifespan?
Mat 6:28, Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
Mat 6:29, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Mat 6:30, But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Mat 6:31, “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
Mat 6:32, For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
Mat 6:33, But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Mat 6:34, Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient. (emp. added, GDR)

At this point, someone might say:"But what if I die tomorrow"? Well, if
you belong to God, through the blood of his son, Jesus- you get to
spend eternity in heaven. Which of course brings me back to my normal
response to "How are you"? Every day above ground is a good day and
every day WAY above ground is called HEAVEN!!!
Being a follower of Christ has changed my of thinking from primarily
negative to focusing on the positive. I think that is a good way to look
at life; how about you???
Want to think like that... follow Jesus (and you will change)!!!
