Encouragement For This Season

“

When political sands shift overnight, societal values decay, and headlines breed fear, it is easy to succumb to severe national anxiety. But do not forget: your ultimate citizenship is in Heaven, and the King of Kings does not get elected, impeached, or overthrown. When kingdoms shake, stay anchored in the truth that God’s throne is completely immovable and His sovereign plan cannot be stopped.
