Are you anxious about the results of today’s US presidential election? It’s natural to feel a bit nervous about whether or not “your team” will carry the day. As Christians, we know that with God firmly in control, anxiety and worry should not have any controlling hold on our minds. But that’s a truth that is more easily acknowledged than fully embraced.
If you’re feeling anxious about this election, or about the state of the culture you live in, you’re certainly not alone. Every generation of Christ-followers has been faced with the challenge of living for Christ in cultures that don’t share their values. And that’s good news for us, because it means we can learn from believers who have been through these challenges before us!
It’s called Thriving in Babylon, and it’s a free 7-day daily email devotional that will encourage but also challenge you to rethink how God has called you to engage with society. It’s drawn from Larry Osborne’s book Thriving in Babylon: Why Hope, Humility, and Wisdom Matter in a Godless Culture. Each short daily reading explores a different part of Daniel’s life and the lessons we can learn from the choices he made in truly difficult circumstances.
So don’t let election panic and political anxiety get you down! Sign up for Thriving in Babylon and learn how you can live joyfully and confidently for Christ, no matter who sits in the Oval Office.
