Yes, the sun came up, the ice caps didn't melt, nor did the earth quake in the wake of Barack Obama's overwhelming victory yesterday. Many have already called to ask how I felt about it all. Am I depressed? Nope! Am I upset? Uh-uh Am I ready to cash it all in and head for the hills? Only if it means I get to enjoy some hunting for a week or so.
Here's what it does mean....God knows what he is doing. "He will keep in perfect peace he whose mind is stayed on HIM!" It is all going to work out to the good for those who love HIM and are called according to HIS purposes!
Be ready for multiple opportunities to share the hope that is in you....it may take a few months for the consequences of this election to begin to show. But when they do, people are going to be looking for answers to their disillusionment. Jesus is the only answer...and we know how to point people his way.
So, look up. Your redemption is getting closer. People are hungry...search them out and feed them. We have a bigger reason for being than ever before. Go for it...know holds barred. Forget about Barack Obama's rise to power, except to pray for him daily. That is our duty! Make it count by being sincere. God will see us through!!!

Grammar Police again -
Go for it..."know holds barred"
Should be "no holds barred"
