Go Vote!

We are so privileged to live in the United States of America and to enjoy the freedoms that are ours. Freedom to choose our elected officials, from the local dog catcher to the President and all positions in between. We are also free to ignore the process and let someone else do it for us. I certainly hope that is not your choice. As is usually the case, the Presidential election seems to garner most of the attention and as usual there are those who know exactly who they are going to vote for and then there are those who have yet to make up their minds. Unfortunately, some have made their decision based up political affiliation. It doesn't matter what the person stands for, it is just a matter of what party he/she belongs to. Some have also decided that regardless of what a person believes, it is time to elect a minority into office. Once again, a bad reason for making the selection. I am not here today to tell you who to vote for, tho I have determined long ago that if a candidate is solidly against God's Word on issues such as abortion and same sex marriages, then they would not get my vote. But, let me ask you to do a couple of very important things today before and after you vote. PRAY! Ask God who you should vote for and listen to His advise. Then, once the elections are over, trust that the people of God's choosing are in office and continue to PRAY! I know that God wants to bless our nation again, but the Psalmist said "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" and right now, that just isn't the United States of American. But, it can be, if we pray and turn back to Him. So, go today and cast your vote for God. You can't go wrong there.
