Good morning, friends đź‘‹
I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder of God’s promises this morning:
Romans 8:26-28 (NLT)
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Hallelujah!
May you have a blessed Saturday. Let’s pray as the Spirit directs—lifting up our families, friends, national leaders, and our nation.
🙏 Watch & share this powerful story of faith and survival!
“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”
— 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 wrong—sometimes badly.
Collins herself overcame a clear polling deficit in 2020. We’ll 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 president’s 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 God’s.
Their thoughts are higher than the Creator’s?
That idea is both arrogant and absurd. It leaves me somewhere between an eye-roll and genuine sadness.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV)
