This week, many people will go to the polls. Votes will be cast. Those already submitted will be counted. And then, on Wednesday or maybe a few days later after all the early ballots have been counted, our nation will have chosen its leaders for the next few years. Based on news accounts, social media feeds, and conversations, many people are anxious about this election. It feels like the most important election of their lives. As we consider Isaiah 40 this Sunday, we remember God is our true hope. He is our true security. And in him we find the joy and life we need.
