“What manner of man is this that winds may obey?
What manner of man is this that even the seas obey?
The Great One, for He created the heavens and the earth.
God can do just what He wants.”
- Ricky Dillard
When I woke up this morning, my first thought (after “I hate my alarm”) was this song. It’s been going through my head all morning. Our choir sang it on Sunday in a tribute to our pastor. I haven’t heard the song in years, but this morning, it’s going round and round in my head.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Because I am a person of faith. My pastor has been preaching for the past few weeks on being dependent on God. That idea is resonating with me, especially this morning. There’s nothing I can do to control what happens in the next few hours. So I’m done worrying about it.
If Obama wins, God is in control.
If McCain wins, God is in control.
Will I be disappointed if Obama doesn’t win? Of course – severely and bitterly. But I won’t worry about it. I won’t even pack up to move to Canada.
I am strangely calm today. And yet, I’m anxious – not about the election, but about the things that God is showing me for my life. It’s not even anxiety, but excitement. Like Obama, I’m fired up and ready to go!
So, no matter what happens today, remember that God will do just what He wants; He’s in control.

Lynn, I do want Obama to win. However, my point is that no matter who wins, I’m not worried about it because my future lies in God’s hands.

What a good insightful way of thinking. I am with you too. I believe that God is in control.
