Election Day

Wow! This must be a record...blogging three days in a row. However - I wanted to record a few thoughts about our nation on this November morning!

The right and privilege to vote is one that we take forgranted I think. We know that we can but do we truly understand the significance or the importance of it? Do we understand that not only is it a privilege it is a RESPONSIBILITY that God has called us as Christians to. God has called us forth to be the voice of righteousness and light in a land full of evil and darkness. It is our calling to vote and take a stand for Him.

I don't want to tell people how to vote or who to vote for. Many may wonder why not but it is summed up in this: if we are living and honoring the Lord then the choices are clear. They will be choices that bring honor and glory to God, they will stand for righteousness and truth, they will reflect HIS CHOICES. To me, there is no gray in God's Word - He is clear in what he values and holds true and thus we can vote accordingly!

I DO wish that we as Christians would take the time to be informed and do our research into the issues and candidates. Take the time to find out which candidates truly do value righteousness and do wish to honor Christ. I have heard it said that there is no "honest" politician - I beg to differ! I believe that there ARE those Christians in politics who wish to serve the Lord in political positions - BUT we may have to look harder for them, we may have to vote for those that aren't so prominent in the media or have as much publicity. However - through prayer and intense petition to the Lord we can have Godly men and women in positions of authority.

So, on that note- I am off to shower and get ready to go into town to VOTE for righteousness! I encourage you all to take time and make voting a priority today!!
