I have heard “Christians” who don’t have a clear understanding of the word say things like church and politics don’t mix. But to be silent on issues of our day is the same as supporting them. And there are things we as Christians cannot support.
Of all the many things I could share today on this day before Election Day I would like to remind you of two things.
First, please pray. Pray about your selections if you have not yet voted. Pray for the process to be honest. Pray for the candidates. Pray for Christians to vote. Pray for people to vote based on values and morals, not just voting for someone because of “party lines.” Pray for those working at the polling places. Pray that people make the time to get out and vote. Cover this day in prayer asking for God’s hand to be upon the entire process.
Second, don’t worry. I have at times read reports as you have about elections and felt fear in my heart. This is such a huge election on so many levels. It would be easy to place your hope in it.
There’s a song called “Where I Belong” by a group called Building 429. Its such a great reminder and I have been reminding myself of the fact that this world and the USA is not my home.
God is in control, not man. We read in the Word that He is the one who has established the authorities. “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Romans 13:10
We do not need to be afraid. The enemy would like for us to be fearful and worry. We can be assured that whatever happens, the One we worship is still the King and He is in control of everything, including this election.
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:15-17
