Election day draws near...

I believe it is in Dan. 2.21 where Daniel in his prayer recognizes that it is God who "sets up and deposes of kings." I think with all the turmoil and instability in the upcoming election, gas and energy prices, food prices spiking and natural disasters occurring with startling regularity it becomes even more important, if that's even possible, to understand we are totally depending upon God for not only our daily bread, but to be able to do any of the things which make up our daily routines.

I am reminded again of how David, in 2 Samuel 6.13 takes only six steps in his journey to bring the ark of the covenant to the City of David, stops and throws a party of celebration and gratitude for God's grace and mercy. I believe God wants our entire lives to be lived with that kind of gratitude and that kind of enthusiasm.

Well said James. Thank you for the reminder. It can't be said enough.
