Oh my fellow America, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Some of the band is going to stay up here because we're going to do something a little bit different tonight.

But just as we were thinking through election day and preparing for kind of an unusual evening,

there's a story that I was reminded of from God's word.

It's a story that's found in Joshua chapter 3.

And it's one of the stories that is such a reminder in Joshua and the people of God,

I don't explain even kind of the context for the book of Joshua.

One of those moments where they reminded when things feel out of control and chaotic,

remember, remember who your God is.

Remember that he's at work when you can't see it and you can't connect the dots.

Remember everything in this world full of brokenness is still in his hands.

If you're familiar with the book of Joshua, so Old Testament is about the nation of Israel and God's relationship with the nation of Israel.

God shows up in the book of Genesis to a guy named Abraham.

Father Abraham had many sons.

God shows up says, I want to make a great nation out of you, the nation of Israel.

Abraham has these 12 sons and over and over, or Abraham has one son.

He has a son that has many, many sons and God builds this incredible nation and he grows this people group.

They find themselves in Egypt and they're in slave for 400 years and God had promised.

I'm going to build this great nation.

You're going to have this promised land that I'm going to give you in 400 years go by.

And a lot of the Jewish people are going, maybe God has forgotten us.

I'm looking around and all I know is slavery.
