<p>Lots of us feel worried and even disgusted about what is going on in America during this crazy election season, right?<br />
<span id="more-14711"></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Well, at least I fight those feelings. And, I bet you do too, but<span> God is not panicking on His throne. He isn’t wringing sweaty palms wondering what is going on. No way!  He knows “what is!” And, we need to know too.<div style="background-color:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #D6D6D6;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;margin:8px 0 20px;padding:15px 20px;">God isn&#8217;t panicking on His throne about this election. <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url= http://bit.ly/2dXBHiC&amp;text=God isn't panicking on His throne about this election. bit.ly/2dXBHiC @jennrothschild" target="_blank">[Click to Tweet]</a></div><span lang="EN"> </span><span lang="EN">To reduce the anxiety that so many of are feeling, we need to trade in the “what if” for “what <em>is</em>.” Anxiety comes from living the “what ifs.”</span></span></span></p>
<p><em>&#8220;What if so-and-so gets elected?!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;What if so-and-so ends up in the Oval Office?!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;What if this is as good as it gets?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><span><div style="background-color: #eaeaea; border: 1px solid #d5d5d5; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 15px 20px 15px 20px;">How about a Get Away with a Take Away. Join me, Kirk Cameron, Chelsea Cameron, Laura Story, Meredith Andrews and Michael O’Brien for a Caribbean Cruise February 19-26, 2017. </span><a href="http://www.inspirationcruises.com/fgf">Register before by November 14</a><span> and get an invitation only exclusive VIP Meet and Greet. </span><a href="http://www.inspirationcruises.com/fgf">Click here for more info</a><span>.</div></span></p>
<p>All the what-ifs are uncertain. But “what is” <em>is</em> certain. “What is” is that God isn’t panicking in Heaven, wringing His hands and wondering what will happen in and to America. “What is” is that God is sovereign, gracious, just and in control.<div style="background-color:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #D6D6D6;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;margin:8px 0 20px;padding:15px 20px;">When we trade in what if for what is we find peace. <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url= http://bit.ly/2dXBHiC&amp;text=When we trade in what if for what is we find peace. bit.ly/2dXBHiC @jennrothschild" target="_blank">[Click to Tweet]</a></div></p>
<p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+4%3A17&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Daniel 4:17</a> says that “<em>the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people.</em>” That is “what is!” We look around and just feel the “what ifs” grow in our hearts because we just don’t get it!</p>
<h2>The “what is” is that God’s got this and He’s got us. And we can trust Him.</h2>
<p>So, let’s shift from fear to faith! Let’s move from confusion to confidence! Let’s come together as one church, and put our hope in Jesus, not in a candidate, a party or an election!<br />
<div style="background-color:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #D6D6D6;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;margin:8px 0 20px;padding:15px 20px;">Our hope is in Jesus, not a party, candidate or election. <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url= http://bit.ly/2dXBHiC&amp;text=Our hope is in Jesus, not a party, candidate or election. bit.ly/2dXBHiC @jennrothschild" target="_blank">[Click to Tweet]</a></div><strong>We need hope.</strong><br />
