Vote! Vote! Vote!

Great day to vote! My station was not busy at all. I figure most people are waiting to vote after they get off work today.

My spirits remain high and I continue to praise the Lord for bringing me through this journey. I believe we have adverse situations come in our lives to show us how strong we are and to teach us we really don’t control anything. God does. We are placed on this Earth to glorify the Lord in our actions and with our thoughts. I have always been a very spiritual person; believing we are given free will to make choices, but that we should make them under the guidance of the Word. I have noticed a significant difference in how I deal with people when I see them as they are. Now, before I join in on a gossip session, I think about the person being talked about and what is being accomplished by bringing them down. God’s Word says we should not do this. Even if it is being done to you, you should not turn around and do it to them. Your reward is revealed through prayer. Through that prayer, you will find what is missing in your heart. You have to walk in truth. Truth finds a way of revealing itself one way or another. When you build anything on a foundation of lies, it will not stand for long.

This is one of my favorite hymns of all time, The Solid Rock. It says it all. It says why I have no worries. It says why I know everything is as it should be.

My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.

When Darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, his covenant, his blood
supports me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found!
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.
