We watched Drive Through History Ancient Greece with David Stotts tonight. For the first time my kids actually enjoyed learning history! This is a great series! It is put out by Focus on the Family.
The thing that impressed most was learning that God used Alexander the Great, a wicked man, to pave the way for the Apostles to spread the Gospel. Because Alexander the Great wanted to conquer the then known world, he spread a common language along with his conquests. This made it easier for the Gospel to be spread.
It's neat to think on this. God uses wicked people to advance His plans and purposes. I have no need to be anxious about the coming elections because God will still advance His plans and purposes in spite of who gets in the White House. It doesn't mean everything will come up roses. Sometimes God uses wicked leaders to bring down judgement on nations that reject Him. But it does mean I can have peace knowing that whatever happens, God is in control and Satan is on a leash.

Cant' sleep due to a sinus-allergy-congested-sore throat issue. Just wanted to say, "Amen to this post." God is in control, and He can use anyone to fulfill His purposes. Our hope rests in Him alone no matter what happens regarding our leaders or our circumstances.
In His Grace,
