God has chosen Senator Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America. It has been a long campaign, and I'm relieved that it is over and a decision has been made. This is the eighth presidential election in which I have been privileged to participate. Out of all of them, though, this one seems the most sobering to me. So much in our country is at stake and the decisions made now will effect the lives of my children and grandchildren and beyond should the Lord tarry. How I long to see God move in our country, so now is the time for us to pray. God hears our cries, and He never sleeps. What good news when we're tempted to despair.

I decided this year to take my ipod with me to the polls. Sovereign Grace has put out a wonderful new project titled, Psalms. You can find it on itunes or purchase it directly from Sovereign Grace Ministries. As I got out of my car I hit the play button and allowed the Holy Spirit to choose which songs would play while I was checking off my ballot. I had no idea how this would minister to me. It gave me a fresh perspective on Who and what really matters. You may be wondering which song played as I finished voting; It was one of my favorites titled, Glorious and Mighty. It's not yet available for my playlist, but I've pasted the words for you below. God is sovereign, and he has a plan for President-elect Obama. I will pray for this man and his family. Will you join me?

Majesty, You fashioned the heavens
Your decrees can never be changed
Over all the plans of the nations
Your judgments reign

Glorious and mighty
You're awesome in beauty
Joyful songs we raise
Glorious and mighty
You're awesome in beauty
Greatly to be praised
