Good morning and Happy Sunday šāļø
Please pray for my fellow Tennesseans who were in the path of last nightās tornado. Six people lost their lives and many more were injured. We know tragedies can strike at anytime, but we place our faith in the God who orders our footsteps and numbers our days.
āIt is of the Lordās mercies that we are not consumed; His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. āThe Lord is my portion,ā says my soul, ātherefore I will hope in Him.ā Lamentations 3: 22-24. #pray #prayer #Tennessee #TORNADO #sundayvibes #hope
š Watch & share this powerful story of faith and survival!
āLet the redeemed of the Lord tell their storyā those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.ā
ā Psalm 107:2

Here are some of my post-election thoughts about the midterm elections.
What does God have to say about this?
#BibleVerse #Daniel2:20 #worry #hope
Polls Can Be Wrong. Midterm Headwinds Are Real. 2028 Is a Different Election.
Polls and betting markets have several Republican Senate seats looking vulnerable today. The numbers put Susan Collins at roughly a 70-75% chance of losing in Maine, Mike Rogers around 75-80% in Michigan, Dan Sullivan near 70% in Alaska, Roger Marshall in the mid-60s in Kansas, and Ken Paxton around 70% in Texas.
These are just odds. Polls and markets get races wrongāsometimes badly.
Collins herself overcame a clear polling deficit in 2020. Weāll know the real results soon enough.
The larger pattern is harder to ignore. Midterms are usually a referendum on the party in power. Since 1946, the presidentās party has lost House seats in 18 of 20 midterms, averaging roughly 26 seats. Senate losses are less automatic but still common (13 of those 20 cycles). Voters treat the midterms as a chance to send a message. That headwind is real.
It does not, however, decide the next presidential election. The correlation ...
This verse keeps coming back to me whenever people act like their personal sense of morality, justice, or goodness somehow outranks Godās.
Their thoughts are higher than the Creatorās?
That idea is both arrogant and absurd. It leaves me somewhere between an eye-roll and genuine sadness.
āFor my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,ā declares the Lord. āAs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.ā
Isaiah 55:8ā9 (NIV)
What are your thoughts about this verse? What is it saying to you?
