No matter the election result ...
the LORD God omnipotent reigneth!
... and He SHALL reign forever and ever! ...
King of kings!
Lord of lords!
And HE shall reign forever and ever!
Hallelujah!

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Psalm 146
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

@lifeontheWink - May we keep our eyes and hearts fixed on King Jesus! He alone is worthy!
Amen!
Keeping our eyes on The King is the key.
Hi, Karen,
I still voted for my human government. I guess Acts 17 says that God sends governments and nations up and down in power so that they will cry out to Him.
I am not convinced Christians should spend too much time in politics. Christians live in many countries with a variety of governing styles--I think we are supposed to be good citizens, obey the law, and pray for them.
Anyway, like your scripture says--one Day He will rule. No voting. No debates. No rushing to court to help win an election. That will be nice.
