Republicans take the House.

So the Republicans take the House, but the Democrats remain in control of the Senate by a few seats. These are the people we elected to represent us, and now we must pray and hope that they represent our interests properly and reflect our beliefs, desires, and values. We voted them to represent us, to be our ambassadors in the legislative bodies of the country that is most likely the most powerful country in the world. We called them to show our interests to the rest of the country. Would you be unhappy if you voted for them and they changed their interests and misrepresented you to the rest of the world? I know I would. 


The funny thing is, God calls us, voted for us, to represent Him here on earth. We are similarly called to represent Him to the world and show His interests and love for us. But how should He feel when we misrepresent Him?

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 8:16


God, quite frankly, is furious. He is so mad that we would misrepresent Him that He says its better to tie a giant stone around your neck and jump in the ocean than mislead or misrepresent Him to anyone of His children. We are God's elect, chosen to represent Him. Don't mess up.
