While it seemed that the day may never come, tomorrow is finally the election. While I am sure there is great relief that we no longer have to watch political ads and that the latest crisis plaguing the candidates will no longer be all we hear about on the news, I am also sure the reaction to the election results will not the same for everyone. Some will be relieved, some will be joyous, some will be despondent, and regardless of who you support, everyone will have some concern about what the future holds. It is easy in the wake of a controversial election like this to just throw up our hands in despair. To give in to a sense of hopelessness. This Sunday in the wake of the coming election we will take a look at some advice Paul gave to a church which was succumbing to despair. And we will be challenged to renew our vision and not grow weary in our work for God despite our fears for the future.
