Can you move a mountain? If you answered “yes,” chances are you have lived in an area where surface mining is practiced. Extracting minerals and metals like coal, copper, gold, iron and aluminum near the surface of the Earth is a process of moving a mountain…one giant shovel full of dirt at a time. Every miner will tell you the deeper you dig into the mountain, the harder it becomes.

No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.

Proverbs 12:3

As the political winds in America begin to blow with a bit more intensity, you may notice words getting hotter and opinions getting stronger around the water cooler or the dinner table. Everyone wants to believe their candidate is the best hope for the nation’s future. Yet God remains a rock, in control and unmoved. If need be, He’ll move a mountain to ensure His will is done for America…and for you.

Pray for unity among God’s people as the process of electing America’s next president moves forward. Ask for His people to reflect His love first and their political preferences second. Personally dig deeper in your own faith. Then daily ask God to establish and securely anchor your actions and words in Him.
