Elections Over

Last night as I watched the election results for president one thing stood out more than anything else to me. This country is deeply divided. As far as I could tell there were only a few states that were overwhelming victories for either candidate. As a country it will be hard to move forward with such deep divisions in place. The bible teaches us that there is power in unity and that kingdoms cannot stand when they are divided. I prayed hard last night as the returns came in. Asking God to have mercy on this nation for thinking that the economy is the number one issue. If the economy is more important than protecting the life of unborn babies, or more important than protecting marriage between one man and one woman then we as a nation have lost sight of who we were founded to be. This nation was founded on biblical principles. We have lost sight of this. Our priorities are mixed up. We must honor God first. Now that the election is over and we have a new president, our role as Christians is to pray for those who are in authority over us. We must pray for this administration. Pray that their hearts would be in God's hands. Pray that they would stand for biblical principles. Pray, repent and turn to God as a people.

Election Day

Today we face one of the most important elections in U.S. History. Sometimes we can get caught up though n the things that we see and miss the unseen things. We can focus so much on the economy, and the war in Iraq and other things that are tangible. But in God's kingdom things work differently. God says that righteousness exalts a nation. God says that if we as His people will humble ourselves, repent and turn from our wicked ways that He will heal our land. This election day as you cast your vote for president, senator, congressman or any other ballot issue, pray. Pray that God will show you who and how to vote. If we will exalt God first, His will will be accomplished.
