Either way, praise God!

God is Sovereign
Remember, God is sovereign over the affairs of men.
The Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes. (Daniel 4:25)
He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’ (Daniel 4:35)
Determine Now to Praise Him
God told Habakkuk He was bringing the Chaldeans to judge Israel. In advance, Habakkuk reviewed the upcoming invasion and vowed to praise Almighty God in the wake of the disaster.
Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:18)
If you’re happy with the election outcome, praise God. If you are devastated, praise God.
Aids to Praise
