What They Don’t Know
Note: Language Words go like this: Language: hebrew, aramaic or greek, – (transliteration in the spoken language), translated to english, and the meaning.
An election can change who holds power in a government, but it does not change who rules over the earth. People win elections, lose elections, gain positions, and leave office. Political parties rise and fall. But God has not changed, and no person in government is above Him.
Now that Democrats have gained control of both the House and the Senate in America, many people are wondering what will happen next. Will they investigate President Trump? Will they try to impeach him? Will they block his plans? Will the country become even more divided? These are reasonable questions. There may be political battles ahead, but before we look at what could happen, we need to understand what God says about rulers, the desire for power, jealousy, and the way people treat one another.
There is something else people absolutely need to remember: Things they think are hidden are not hidden from God. People can hide their plans from the public, keep their conversations private, cover up their actions, and pretend their motives are something other than what they really are. They may fool other people, but they will never fool God. He sees everything, and He knows the truth.
God Is Still In Control
God has never lost control of the nations. Daniel understood this thousands of years ago. In Daniel 2:21, he praised God, saying:
וְהוּא מְהַשְׁנֵא עִדָּנַיָּא וְזִמְנַיָּא מְהַעְדֵּה מַלְכִין וּמְהָקֵם מַלְכִין, wehūʾ mĕhaššĕnê ʿiddānayyā wezimmānayyā, mĕhaʿdēh malkīn ûmĕhāqēm malkīn, He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings.
The Aramaic word מַלְכִין (malkīn) means kings. The words מְהַעְדֵּה מַלְכִין (mĕhaʿdēh malkīn) describe removing kings, while מְהָקֵם מַלְכִין (mĕhāqēm malkīn) describe setting up or establishing kings. Daniel was praising God because He has authority over the rise and fall of rulers.
A king may believe his power comes from his own strength, money, wisdom, or influence, but none of those things puts him above the Creator.
King Nebuchadnezzar learned this for himself the hard way. He looked at the great kingdom he had built and praised himself for its greatness. God humbled him until he understood that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of mankind (Daniel 4:28-37).
This does not mean that every ruler is good or that everything a government does is approved by God. God can allow someone to hold a position without approving of that person’s actions. People have the ability to make choices, and they are responsible for those choices. No ruler is beyond God’s authority, and no government can escape His judgment.
God Sees What Is In The Heart
When we look at people in government, we usually pay attention to what they say and do. Those things matter, but God sees something we cannot see for ourselves. He sees the real reasons behind a person’s actions.
Jeremiah 17:10 says:
אֲנִי יְהוָה חֹקֵר לֵב בֹּחֵן כְּלָיוֹת, ʾănî YHWH ḥōqēr lēv, bōḥēn kelāyōt, I, YHWH, examine the heart and test the deepest parts of a person.
The Hebrew word לֵב (lēv) means heart. In Scripture, the heart is not just the part of our body that pumps blood. It is also used for our thoughts, feelings, decisions, and inner desires. The word כְּלָיוֹת (kelāyōt) literally means kidneys. In this expression, it refers to the deepest parts of a person, the things hidden inside that others cannot see. God examines both.
He knows whether someone is trying to do what is right or simply trying to get ahead. He knows when a person is honest and when that person is hiding the truth. He knows whether someone is acting out of concern for others, or whether pride, jealousy, greed, and hatred are driving that person’s behavior. These cannot be hidden from Him.
In Psalm 139:1 David prays:
יְהוָה חֲקַרְתַּנִי וַתֵּדָע, YHWH ḥăqartanî wattēdāʿ, YHWH, You have searched me and known me.
The Hebrew word חָקַר (ḥāqar) means to search or examine thoroughly. The word יָדַע (yādaʿ) means to know. David understood that God knew him completely. He continues in Psalm 139 to explain that there is nowhere a person can go to escape God’s presence. Even darkness cannot hide anyone from Him.
And this brings us to something we should never forget: God does not need someone to tell Him what is happening. He already knows. He does not have to wait for a news report, an investigation, a witness, or a confession. He knows what happened before anyone else finds out. He knows what was said behind closed doors, what was planned in secret, what was done when no one was watching, and what a person intended to accomplish.
What James Says About Envy And Selfish Ambition
One of the things Scripture speaks about very plainly is envy and selfish ambition. James gives us a warning that is especially important when we look at people fighting for power and position.
In James 3:16 he tells us: ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία, ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα, – hopou gar zēlos kai eritheia, ekei akatastasia kai pan phaúlon pragma,For wherever envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil practice.
Let’s look at the actual Greek words because each one helps us understand exactly what James is saying.
The first word is ζῆλος (zēlos). It can mean zeal or strong feeling, but in this passage it means envy or jealousy. James is talking about the kind of jealousy that makes a person resent someone else’s success, position, attention, or influence. Instead of being happy for another person, the jealous person is bothered because someone else has what he wants.
The next word is ἐριθεία (eritheia). This means selfish ambition. It describes someone who is determined to get what he wants, gain a position, or move ahead, even if other people are hurt along the way. That person’s own interests come first.
Then James uses ἀκαταστασία (akatastasia). This word means disorder, confusion, and turmoil. It describes the trouble that grows when people are driven by jealousy and selfish ambition.
Finally, πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα (pan phaúlon pragma) means every kind of evil practice or wicked deed. Pan means all or every, phaúlon describes something bad or evil, and pragma means a deed, matter, or action.
Put those words together, and James is warning us that envy and selfish ambition produce disorder and all kinds of evil actions. These are not harmless feelings that stay tucked away inside someone’s heart. When a person allows them to control his actions, they can lead to fighting, lies, division, hatred, and attempts to tear other people down.
James goes on to explain that God’s wisdom is different. It is pure, peaceful, gentle, full of mercy, fair, and sincere (James 3:17–18). That is quite different from the behavior of someone who must defeat, humiliate, or destroy a rival to feel successful.
We Have Seen Jealousy Before
The Bible gives us several examples of what jealousy can do.
Cain became angry when God accepted Abel’s offering but did not regard Cain’s in the same way. Instead of looking at his own conduct and correcting what was wrong, Cain became jealous of his brother. That jealousy grew until he killed Abel (Genesis 4:3–8).
Joseph’s brothers also became jealous. They resented the attention their father gave him, and they did not like the dreams Joseph told them about. Their jealousy became so strong that they plotted against their own brother and sold him into slavery (Genesis 37).
King Saul became jealous of David when the people praised David after his victories. Saul saw David as a threat and became so consumed by jealousy that he tried to kill him (1 Samuel 18).
In each of these accounts, the trouble began in the heart. Someone became resentful because another person had something he wanted. Instead of dealing with that feeling, he allowed it to grow until it led to terrible actions.
Proverbs 14:30 gives us another warning: רְקַב עֲצָמוֹת קִנְאָה, reqav ʿăṣāmōt qinʾāh, Envy is decay in the bones.
The Hebrew word קִנְאָה (qinʾāh) means jealousy or envy. The picture is of something eating away at a person from the inside. Envy takes away peace and makes it difficult to be content with what God has given.
This matters when we look at politics because the desire for power can bring out the worst in people. Someone may resent another person’s success, popularity, or influence. That resentment may lead to attempts to damage that person’s reputation, block everything he tries to do, or remove him from a position simply because the jealous person cannot stand seeing him succeed.
We have to be honest, though. Disagreeing with a president does not automatically mean someone is jealous. A person may oppose a president because of his policies, decisions, or actions. That is not the same as envy. But when a person’s actions are driven by hatred, resentment, or a desire to destroy someone simply because that person has something he wants, God’s Word tells us what kind of behavior that is.
And this applies to everyone. It does not matter whether someone is a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent, or whatever. God does not excuse jealousy in one person while condemning it in another.
The Desire To Be Important
The desire for power and position is nothing new. Even Jesus’ own disciples struggled with wanting to be important. James and John asked Jesus for places of honor beside Him in His kingdom. When the other disciples heard about it, they became angry (Mark 10:35–41).
Jesus explained that rulers among the nations often use their authority to control others. But He told His disciples they were not to act that way. Whoever wanted to be great among them was to serve others (Mark 10:42–45).
Jesus was teaching them that leadership is a responsibility. It is not a chance to make yourself more important than everyone else. A good leader should be willing to serve, not simply enjoy being in charge.
We see another example in 3 John 9–10. John tells us about a man named Diotrephes, who loved being first. The Greek expression φιλοπρωτεύων (philoprōteuōn) describes someone who loves to be first or to have the highest place. Diotrephes wanted to be the most important person and acted against those who did not follow him. His desire for position became more important to him than doing what was right.
That same problem can happen in any government. Some people seek office because they truly want to serve. Others want attention, control, money, or the feeling of being more important than someone else. God knows the difference.
Anyone who wants authority should remember that it comes with responsibility. A government position is not a personal prize that allows someone to do whatever he or she pleases.
Things They Think Are Hidden Are Not Hidden From God
People can hide things from one another. They can have private meetings, make secret agreements, conceal money, tell different stories to different people, and keep certain actions out of public view (as in “redacting”). They may think that as long as nobody finds out, nobody can hold them responsible.
But God is not limited to what the public can see.
Proverbs 15:3 says: בְּכָל־מְקוֹם עֵינֵי יְהוָה צֹפוֹת רָעִים וְטוֹבִים, bĕkol-māqōm ʿênê YHWH ṣōfōt rāʿîm wetōvîm, In every place, the eyes of YHWH are watching the evil and the good.
The Hebrew word בְּכָל־מְקוֹם (bĕkol-māqōm) means in every place. The word צֹפוֹת (ṣōfōt) means watching or keeping watch. And notice that God watches both רָעִים (rāʿîm), the evil, and טוֹבִים (ṭōvîm), the good. Nothing is outside His sight.
Hebrews 4:13 tells us: καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν κτίσις ἀφανὴς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, πάντα δὲ γυμνὰ καὶ τετραχηλισμένα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ, – kai ouk estin ktisis aphanēs enōpion autou, panta de gymna kai tetrachēlismena tois ophthalmoi autou, No created thing is hidden from His sight; everything is exposed and laid bare before His eyes.
The Greek word ἀφανής (aphanēs) means unseen or hidden. The word γυμνά (gymna) means naked or uncovered. The word τετραχηλισμένα (tetrachēlismena) describes something laid bare or fully exposed. The picture is clear: nothing is covered up before God. Nothing can be tucked away where He cannot see it.
Jesus gave a similar warning in Luke 12:2: οὐδὲν δὲ συγκεκαλυμμένον ἐστὶν ὃ οὐκ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται καὶ κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται, – ouden de synkekalymmenon estin ho ouk apokalyphthēsetai kai krypton ho ou gnōsthēsetai, Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing is hidden that will not be known.
Look at the words Jesus used. Συγκεκαλυμμένον (synkekalymmenon) means something covered or concealed. Ἀποκαλυφθήσεται (apokalyphthēsetai) means it will be uncovered or revealed. Κρυπτόν (krypton) means something hidden, and γνωσθήσεται (gnōsthēsetai) means it will be known.
Jesus was teaching that nothing remains hidden from God. What people conceal will not escape His knowledge or judgment.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 tells us:
כִּי אֶת־כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂה הָאֱלֹהִים יָבִא בְמִשְׁפָּט עַל כָּל־נֶעְלָם אִם־טוֹב וְאִם־רָע, – kî ʾet-kol-maʿăśeh hāʾĕlōhîm yāviʾ vemishpāṭ ʿal kol-neʿĕlām ʾim-ṭōv weʾim-rāʿ, God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
The Hebrew word נֶעְלָם (neʿĕlām) means something hidden or concealed. Notice that God does not say He will judge only the things people know about. He will judge every deed, including the things hidden from other people. And He sees both good and evil.
This should make anyone who thinks he can hide wrongdoing stop and think. People may escape public attention for a while. They may avoid questions, keep others from finding evidence, or convince people that nothing happened. But they cannot keep anything from God.
And this applies to the good we do, too. Jesus taught that when we give to others, we should not do it just to receive attention and praise. In Matthew 6:4, He said that our giving should be done in secret, and our Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward us openly. So God sees the kindness nobody notices, the help given without expecting praise, and the sacrifices made quietly. Nothing good is overlooked by Him either.
People may hide things from one another, but they cannot hide anything from God. He sees what happens in public and in private, what is said aloud and what is planned silently, what is done openly and what is kept secret. He knows the truth even when everyone else has been fooled.
Satan Uses Lies And Division
The Bible also warns us that Satan works through lies, accusations, and division. Jesus called him a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). Revelation 12:10 describes him as an accuser.
Think about what happens when people believe lies, spread false accusations, and turn against one another. Families break apart. Friendships are destroyed. Neighbors become enemies. People begin to hate one another without even knowing the truth.
Ephesians 4:26–27 warns us not to let anger take control and give the devil an opportunity to work. Anger can arise for a reason, but when we hold on to it and allow it to become hatred, it can lead us into wrongdoing.
In John 10:10, Jesus tells us all about hasatan: The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Then we have Paul who explains in Ephesians 6:12 that our struggle is not only against other people. There is a spiritual battle taking place. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This does not excuse anyone’s actions. Every person is still responsible for the choices he makes. But we should understand that deception, hatred, and division are among the ways Satan works to turn people against one another.
We should not call everyone who disagrees with us evil. Nor should we assume every disagreement comes from Satan. But when people knowingly lie, stir up hatred, attack others out of envy, or use their power to harm others, their actions go against what God teaches.
God Holds Rulers Accountable
God has never said that rulers can do whatever they want simply because they hold office. He holds them responsible for how they use their authority.
In Isaiah 10, God spoke against those who made unfair laws and used their positions to hurt people who were already struggling. They took advantage of the poor and denied justice to those who needed help. God made it clear that their positions would not protect them from judgment.
This is an important lesson for every government. A law does not become right simply because people in power pass it. If a government approves something that God calls wrong, that government has not made it right. God’s standard is higher than human laws.
Romans 13 explains that governing authorities have a responsibility to maintain order and deal with wrongdoing. Authority is not given so rulers can mistreat people or use the law to serve themselves. Those who govern are still accountable to God.
We also see what can happen when people want a government simply because they want to be like everyone else. In 1 Samuel 8, Israel demanded a king. They wanted to be like the nations around them. God told Samuel to warn the people that a king would take their sons and daughters, their land, their crops, and their possessions. The people still insisted on having a king.
God allowed them to have one, but He warned them about what their choice would mean. They wanted something, and they would have to live with the consequences.
People can make poor choices when they allow their desires to lead them instead of listening to God. That is true in government, and it is true in our own lives.
Can God Change What Happens To A Nation?
Absolutely. The Bible gives us an example of an entire city that turned away from its evil ways and received mercy.
God sent Jonah to warn the people of Nineveh that judgment was coming. The people believed the warning, humbled themselves, and turned away from their wicked conduct. God saw what they did and did not bring the destruction He had announced (Jonah 3).
The Hebrew word שׁוּב (shuv) means to turn back or return. It is an important word in Scripture when God calls people to turn away from wrongdoing and return to Him. That is what the people of Nineveh did. They did more than say they were sorry. They changed the way they were living.
Jeremiah 18:7–10 also explains that when God warns a nation about judgment and that nation turns away from evil, He may withhold the judgment. But if a nation turns away from doing what is right and chooses evil, He may withhold the good He had planned for it.
That is what repentance means. It is not simply saying, “I’m sorry.” It means turning away from what is wrong and returning to what God says is right.
Changing the people in government will not fix a nation if the same greed, dishonesty, hatred, injustice, and pride remain in its people and its institutions. A nation needs more than a change in political leadership. It needs people who are willing to do what is right before God.
What May Happen After This Election?
With Democrats gaining control of both the House and the Senate, they will have more power to investigate the president’s administration, hold hearings, and block or change plans they oppose. They may also try to begin impeachment proceedings.
It helps to understand how impeachment works. The House can vote to impeach a president. This means the House formally brings charges against him. But impeachment does not automatically remove a president from office. The Senate holds a trial, and it takes a two-thirds vote of the senators present to find him guilty and remove him.
So even if the House votes to impeach, removal is not guaranteed. Gaining control of Congress gives a party more power, but it does not guarantee that every plan will succeed.
There may be investigations and strong political disagreements. Some investigations may uncover real wrongdoing and be necessary. Others may be driven more by political fighting. We must look at the facts and judge each action by what is true and right.
James’ warning about envy and selfish ambition is important here. When people are driven by those things, their actions can bring unnecessary disorder and harm. But we should not claim that every person who opposes the president is jealous, just as we should not claim that everyone who supports him has good motives. Remember, God examines every heart.
And also remember, whatever takes place behind closed doors is already known to God. People may have to investigate and uncover facts, but God never has to search for evidence to find out what is true. He already knows.
The Bible does not tell us exactly what each politician will do after this election. We should not pretend to know what God has not revealed. We can watch what happens, understand the laws, and compare people’s actions with Scripture. But we must not claim God has told us that a certain political event will happen when He has not said so.
What About The Last Days?
Jesus warned that the time before His return would include deception, wars and reports of wars, conflict among nations, persecution, lawlessness, and people becoming cold in their love for one another (Matthew 24). Paul also warned about lawlessness and deception (2 Thessalonians 2).
Daniel 7 describes powerful kingdoms and rulers. Revelation 13 describes a wicked power that demands loyalty and stands against God. Revelation 17 also speaks about rulers and kingdoms involved in the conflict against God’s purposes.
These passages are important, and we need to study them carefully. But we cannot look at every election, every political party, or every politician and declare that the Bible has identified that person as one of the figures in prophecy. A political event may remind us of something in Scripture, but that does not prove it is the fulfillment of that prophecy.
God gave us these warnings so we would be watchful and not be fooled. He did not give us permission to make up answers when He has not revealed them.
What About Bible Codes And Numbers?
There are numbers, patterns, and details throughout the Bible that deserve careful study. Hebrew and Greek letters also have numerical values. Gematria is a way of studying the number values of letters and words. Another method, often called ELS, looks for letter patterns by counting equal spaces between letters in a text.
These are different ways of examining a text, and they should not be confused with the simply put meaning of Scripture. Finding a pattern does not automatically mean we have found a message from God. People can search for patterns in many ways, and sometimes they find something that looks meaningful even though it was not a message God intended us to discover.
Revelation 13:18 specifically tells us that wisdom is needed to understand the number of the beast. That is a reason to study the passage carefully. It is not permission to attach that number to every politician we dislike or use numbers to make predictions God has not given us.
Deuteronomy 29:29 gives us an important reminder:
הַנִּסְתָּרֹת לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַנִּגְלֹת לָנוּ וּלְבָנֵינוּ עַד־עוֹלָם, – hannistarōt laYHWH ʾĕlōhēnū, wehanniglōt lānū welāvānēnū ʿad-ʿōlām, The hidden things belong to YHWH our God, but the things He has revealed belong to us and our children forever.
The Hebrew word הַנִּסְתָּרֹת (hannistarōt) means the hidden things. The word הַנִּגְלֹת (hanniglōt) means the things that have been revealed or made known. God makes a distinction between what He has chosen to reveal and what He has kept hidden.
There is an important difference between what God has not revealed to us and what people try to hide from one another. God may keep certain things secret according to His wisdom, but nothing is secret from Him. What He has revealed belongs to us, and what people attempt to conceal from others remains completely known to Him.
We should study what God has revealed, look closely at His Word, and pay attention to its details. But we must not claim to know something God has kept hidden. What He has already told us is important enough to study carefully.
What Should We Do?
Paul instructed Timothy that prayers should be made for all people, including kings and everyone in authority (1 Timothy 2:1–2). He did not say to pray only for the rulers we like. We are to pray for those who govern because their decisions affect the lives of many people.
We should pray that our leaders have wisdom, act honestly, protect people from injustice, and do what is right. We should pray that they understand they are responsible to God for the way they use their authority.
We should also examine our own hearts. It is easy to see the faults in people we oppose while overlooking the same faults in people we support. We cannot use God’s Word as a weapon against others while refusing to let it correct us.
There is also a limit to what government can demand from us. When people in authority tell us to do something that goes against God’s commands, the apostles showed us where our obedience belongs.
Acts 5:29 says: πειθαρχεῖν δεῖ θεῷ μᾶλλον ἢ ἀνθρώποις, – peitharchein dei theō mallon ē anthrōpois, We must obey God rather than human beings.
The Greek word πειθαρχεῖν (peitharchein) means to obey or submit to authority. The word δεῖ (dei) means it is necessary or required. θεῷ (theō) means God, and μᾶλλον ἢ (mallon ē) means rather than. The apostles were making their position clear: when human orders go against God’s commands, obedience belongs to God.
Our first responsibility is to Him. Human authority has limits. No ruler, government, or political party is greater than God.
Psalm 146:3–4 warns us not to put our trust in human rulers as though they can save us. People die, their plans come to an end, and governments change. We can vote, take part in our government, speak up about wrongdoing, and expect our leaders to act justly. But our hope must remain in God.
God Knows, God Sees, And God Judges
This election may bring investigations, arguments, attempts to block plans, and perhaps impeachment proceedings. We may see more political fighting and division. What matters is that we watch what people actually do and compare their actions with what God says.
When someone is jealous of another person’s success, God’s Word condemns that envy. When someone seeks power for selfish reasons, God’s Word condemns that ambition. When someone lies, treats people unfairly, or uses authority to harm others, God sees it. And when someone uses a position of authority to serve others, protect the innocent, and seek justice, God sees that too.
We must never excuse wrong conduct just because it comes from someone we support. Nor should we accuse someone of evil simply because that person disagrees with us. We do need to judge actions by God’s Word and remember that He alone knows every hidden thought and motive.
People may think they can hide behind a title, a position, a political party, a private agreement, their money, or a carefully chosen public statement. They may think no one will ever discover what they have done. But they are forgetting something very important: God was there. God saw it. God knows the truth.
There is no secret meeting He did not see, no dishonest word He did not hear, no hidden action He failed to notice, and no motive He does not know. People may hide things from each other, but they cannot hide anything from Him.
And there is another side to this truth: the good done quietly is not forgotten either. God sees those who help without seeking praise, stand for what is right when no one is watching, and remain faithful when doing so brings them no recognition. He sees the good as surely as He sees the evil.
The change in Congress does not change God’s authority. It does not make one political party righteous or another party evil. It reminds us that people in power can use that power for good or for harm, and every one of them will answer to God.
God is not impressed by titles, political victories, wealth, or popularity. He sees the heart. He knows what people do, even when no other person knows. And He holds every person accountable.
Governments change. Rulers change. Political parties rise and fall. But God’s Word does not change, and no one is above His judgment.

Prayer
Holy Father, I praise You because You alone are God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and the One who rules over all nations. No ruler is greater than You, no government is beyond Your authority, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. You see every action, hear every word, and know every thought and intention of the heart. Your wisdom is perfect, Your judgment is right, and Your Word is truth.
Father, I ask You to give me understanding as I study Your Word. Help me recognize what You have revealed and not claim to know what You have kept hidden. Keep me from being misled by appearances, political arguments, personal opinions, or the words of people who may not speak the truth. Let me measure what I see by what You have said.
I pray for those who hold positions of authority in this nation. Give them wisdom to make just decisions, courage to do what is right, and a willingness to serve rather than use their positions for selfish gain. Expose corruption, dishonesty, deception, and injustice. Bring hidden wrongdoing into the light, and let those who abuse their authority understand that they are accountable to You. Protect those who are treated unfairly, and give strength to those who stand for what is right.
Holy Father, examine my own heart as well. Do not let me excuse envy, pride, anger, or selfish ambition in myself while recognizing those things in others. Keep me from hatred and from being drawn into division. Help me speak truthfully, judge actions fairly, and remain faithful to Your Word even when the truth is unpopular.
I ask You to have mercy on this nation. Turn hearts away from evil and toward what is right. Let people recognize that changing political leadership cannot take the place of changing hearts. May those who lead remember that their positions are temporary and that they will answer to You for how they have used them.
Thank You, Father, that I do not have to know everything to trust You. You see what I cannot see, You know what I cannot know, and nothing takes place outside Your knowledge. My confidence is not in presidents, political parties, or earthly governments. My confidence is in You.
In the name of our Savior, Yeshua HaMashiach, I pray. Amen.

BUT… Don’t take my word for it. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are so. Open your Bible, study God’s Word for yourself, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. Don’t simply accept my conclusions. If what I’ve written agrees with Scripture, hold fast to it. If it doesn’t, let God’s Word be your final authority.
