Tomorrow is Election Day in the US. Scriptures indicate that God appoints kings, rulers and those in positions of authority in governments. I believe that in a democracy that means that God has appointed the citizens to rule and have authority. I don’t believe that God will get even one vote to cast on Tuesday. He has already made his choice – the citizens of the United States.Please join me in saying an amen to Chip's prayer and making that trip to the voting booth if you have not already.
Although God does not vote in the election, please do so yourself if you are a US citizen. Chari, Amanda, and I have all voted already via absentee ballot. If we do not exercise our responsibility to vote, we are, in effect, abdicating the authority that God has bestowed upon us. I hope you can join us in praying that:
• God will grant the people of the US, wisdom, insight, and understanding to make good decisions
• The citizens of the USA will take their responsibility seriously to vote for the candidate of their choice
• Both those who are happy and those who are disappointed in the results, will reach out to each other and purposively engage in the process of dialog and collaboration to create policies, programmes, priorities, and procedures that will facilitate the wellbeing of people, both in the USA and around the world.
Please visit The Prayer List and pray with me.
Amen to all of that. Whoever wins still has to work with Both parties. We are all in this together for the good of all.
