PRAY AND VOTE!

 

1 Tim 2:1-4

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

 

           With the election now just a few days away, we are beginning to sense the urgency of making the right choice. The United States can’t afford to select the wrong leader at this point in our history. Our freedoms and especially our freedom of worship and self preservation are under attack. We have been under house arrest for most of this year. The cost of rioting, looting, and killing have reached the billions of dollars.

 

           If God is pure and holy should we not be concerned that we align ourselves with His sense of morality? If we continue to resist Him should we be surprised when He resists us? If we cling to lifestyles that He has labeled an “abomination” should we not expect His anger? 

 

           Now is the time for Christians everywhere to pray. Pray that this nation would still have enough moral fiber to elect a man who embraces God. The purpose for godly government is so that “we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Pray that our nation returns to God!

 

Yet there is hope! A new – yes, another one – Middle East peace accord has been signed. Now, if we can only get our own people to agree to some form of peace!

 

Prov 14:34

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

 

Dear Lord, rescue us from ourselves. We have offended you. Please forgive us and restore unto us a bit of moral purity. Be swift to help us. AMEN
