Good morning š
In every generation, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob wants to comfort his people. He told the Prophet Isaiah:
āComfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,āØand cry to her that her warfare is ended,āØthat her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord's handāØdouble for all her sins.
A voice cries: āIn the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spokenāā Isaiah 40: 1-5 (ESV).

Here are some of my post-election thoughts about the midterm elections.
What does God have to say about this?

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)
