Take a few minutes now to look up and reorient your perspective to the sovereignty and greatness of our God displayed in these verses. Pray that God would remind you of the place of our nation and our government in light of His power and strength. You may have concerns about where our nation is headed and that’s okay. Take them all to Jesus, remembering He is our Savior, not the government.
