'I guess it really doesn't matter who wins the election after all!'

 By Dennis Edwards 

William Jennings Bryan was an American political leader, a Christian, who ran for President 3 times but was defeated each time. He lived from 1860-1925.  He was a firm advocate of peace, not war. Shortly before his death he faced Clarence Darrow in the Scopes Monkey Trial against evolution. He was a great politician, as well as a Christian statesman.[1] 

"One day before the up and coming election he had a chance to look through one of the new scientific devices called a telescope. He spent some time looking through the telescope at the night sky. 

His friends that were with him were amazed. The great eloquent speaker, the great William Jennings Bryan  was just stunned to silence! He stopped talking and looked again into the telescope for quite some time. Then he turned away and walked away silently for several minutes. He shook his head and said those famous words, 'I guess it really doesn't matter who wins the election after all!' And he lost it, too! But God's plan went on. Perhaps one reason he lost the election was because he was too good a man to win it, too honest, too Christian, too outspoken in his opposition to Evolution & the Devil & the anti-Christ spirit of the age."[2] 

I suppose what ever happens with the American elections we can take heart from Jennings conclusion. God is ultimately in control of the heavens above. He is the force, the sustaining power that keeps the universe and everything in it running properly towards the final destination. The kingdom of man under Satan's influence will come to an end one day. God's will will be ultimately fulfilled. It will be done. Let us pray "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." At the end of book of Revelation  we read, "He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Let that be our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen 

I will finish with a quote from Apostle Paul.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.[3]
