Election Day
Today is election day in New Zealand. The speeches are finished and the bribes are on the table. All that remains is for the votes to be counted, but one vote counts more than all the rest.
Who did God vote for?
Nebuchadezzar was the most powerful ruler in Mesopatamia, but when he lost God's vote, he ended up eating grass,
until he honored and glorified him.
His dominion is an eternal dominion;I doubt that God has voted for any of the people wanting to be our leaders.
his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing.
He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"
What is the future of a nation when God votes against all its potential leaders?
At least we are good at growing grass in New Zealand!!
The kings of the earth take their stand.
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
I have installed my King (Psalm 2:2,4,6)
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty (Luke 2:52,53)

Ron,
As I understand it, the sheep are content eating the grass you grow. And NZ has great summer skiing. Uhhh, during our summer that is. I'd like to visit someday, but wouldn't want to vote there.
