Good morning šāļø
I started my day with meditation and reflection on Psalm 119. May God bless and keep you close today. May he surprise and reveal himself to you in a new and unexpected way.
āBlessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
Ā and seek him with all their heartāthey do no wrong but follow his ways.
You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.ā Psalm 119: 1-8 (NIV).

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?
