I have to admit I have gone to the voting booth many times
and come away ashamed of my lack of wisdom on who to elect. But I am sensing
more and more that the people who we choose to govern over us will change the
way we will be able to witness for the Lord in the days to come. I know that the
climate is already getting tight. Do I want it to get tighter before it has to?
How important is the right to vote? We think that privilege
will always be there when we want to use it. What if it wasn’t?
Not in America, you say? Maybe not but what would we do if the unthinkable did
happen?
I know in the end, God is in control no matter who is
elected. And…even after the voting, we will need to continue to pray and
intercede for those in authority so it will go well with us. But if we show God
that we do not really care, then He may respond accordingly.
During these next few days before the elections, let’s pledge to pray, to get
informed, to vote, and to encourage others to do the same. When you are deciding
whom to choose…keep in mind the morals and biblical principles God has
carefully instilled within you. Seek God’s wisdom as you study the platforms of each candidate. If you seek in faith, God will show you all
you need to know.
I pray you will join me at the polls on November 6th.
May God bless the results.
You've given everyone lots to think about before voting. Research the candidates before pulling the lever for them, then there are no surprises when they get elected. Also remember the things that God is for and against and vote to please Him. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy! Voting is so important. I pray that each of us get the wind of the Spirit before we enter the voting booth.
