Tomorrow morning America will look similar to today- but not the same.
In the Midwest a few more leaves will have fallen, grass may have grown a bit longer, colors may have deepened, a tree may have been cut down.
On the coasts the breeze might blow the waves a little higher than they were today, or possibly not blow as hard.
It might rain or the sun might shine brightly.
People will be bustling about as always, discussing the newly elected candidate.
It will be in many ways the same, but in many ways very different.
People will die and people will be born.
Someone will get a divorce and someone will get married.
Everything changes but God stays the same.
Throughout time.
Throughout the pages of history.
God never changes. He is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow and forever.
God is still on throne, just as He was when He said, "Let there be light."
Just as He was when the only righteous person was Noah.
Just as He was when He led His people to the promised land.
Just like He was when the Light of the World hung His head and said, "It is finished"
Just as He was when His messengers declared, "He is risen!"
Just as He was when 9/11 happened.
Just as He was when you said "I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that you are Lord"
Just as He is today.
So He will be tomorrow.
The One who directs the heart of kings is seated on His throne, He told us what will happen, even that which has already happened.
"In this world you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome the world."
Turn to the very last page in Revelation.
God gets the glory.
God preserves His people.
God is in control.
God wins the battle over the powers of darkness in this world.
God sets creation free from it's bondage and groaning,
God is on the throne forever- That includes tomorrow.

No man or woman, government, or religion is capable of fouling the plans of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Amen.
