No Worries

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart fell lonely
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

Proverbs 15:29 KJV

The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

This verse is just as true today, as yesterday.

Think about it, what would give God more glory: answering our prayer through the President we wanted, or in spite of the President altogether?

I believe the latter.

He still cares for His people, and still desires to hear our prayers.

Am I concerned about the direction of our nation? Certainly. But I am fully aware who is still in charge.

I think if a perfect man can weep for His nation (Luke 14:41) than we very imperfect men can shed a tear over ours.

But I won't be flying flags upside down, or losing hope in my nation. We have another four years of a wrong-headed man at the the terrestrial helm. But we know where the real power lies. Not with some secretive council, but with the God of Heaven. He answers to neither ballot, nor bullet.

So we're still in the same position, on our knees, asking for God's mercy and grace.

That ain't a bad position.

"His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me."
