I think this devotional is a perfect “post election” devotional.\u00a0 After months of campaigning, polls and politics, it’s great to remind ourselves where our focus should be–on being with God and our Savior Jesus Christ.\u00a0 So, regardless of how you voted, give thanks that our country can still model for the world how a true democratic society can vote for our leaders without fear as a free people.\u00a0 It’s a beautiful gift won by the blood of men and women who fought for our civil and human rights through many battles over our nation’s history.\u00a0 We will celebrate and honor our veterans this Sunday night at 7pm.\u00a0 I hope you’ll join me and others for this special service.\u00a0 Tell your neighbors, friends and co-workers as well.\u00a0 And, in the words of\u00a0 Romney, I hope you’ll join me in praying for our country, the leaders we’ve elected and Obama and his family during the next four years.\u00a0 And, yes, God Bless America!<\/div>\n

Worship Me in the beauty of holiness<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 All true beauty reflects some of who I Am.\u00a0 I am working My ways in you: the divine Artist creating loveliness within your being.\u00a0 My main work is to clear out debris and clutter, making room for My Spirit to take full possession.\u00a0 Collaborate with Me in this effort by being willing to let go of anything I choose to take away.\u00a0 I know what you need, and I have promised to provide all of that-abundantly!<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYour sense of security must not rest in your possessions or in things going your way.\u00a0 I am training you to depend on Me alone, finding fulfillment in My Presence.\u00a0 This entails being satisfied with much or with little, accepting either as My will or the moment.\u00a0 Instead of grasping and controlling, you are learning to release and receive.\u00a0 Cultivate this receptive stance by trusting Me in every situation.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPsalm 29:2 (KJV) <\/strong><\/span>2Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\u00a0Psalm 27:4\u00a0 <\/strong>4One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
