As you know, this is a critical time for the United States in view of the election. No matter what happens, let us be reminded that OUR GOD IS IN CONTROL! He removes kings and raises up kings (Daniel 2:21). He has a plan, and He is still on the throne. We can rest assured knowing that He is perfectly sovereign.
As we pray and seek God’s face, we must be prepared to speak against evil, as Daniel did. There are at least two things we as Americans can do in this regard during this season:
- Pray! 🙏Pray that the Lord’s will be done, that the darkness will be exposed, and that the truth will prevail. Pray for each of our leaders (and potential leaders). Pray that we, as a nation, elect a candidate who will protect us and our freedoms, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
- Vote! 🗳️ Voting is the way that we, as the people of God, take a stand against evil. If you are unsure about voting, I would strongly encourage you to prayerfully reconsider. I firmly believe that voting is essential for Christians. Although the political right is not perfect, it is a million times better than the outright evil of the political left. If we do not vote, we are, in essence, actually casting our votes for all the unhidden evil represented by the left. If, by not voting, we believe we are “washing our hands” of the matter, we are, in reality, not attempting to stop evil and allowing it to go unhindered. Voting is a simple way to stand up against wickedness! No, neither candidate is perfect. But would you rather vote for someone who openly declared her contempt for Christians and full support of abortion, immorality, open borders, and more, or someone who clearly supports Christians and is not propagating (but rather is limiting) the sinful, wicked agenda? I included a video in which Dr. John MacArthur speaks on this topic, and he reminds us that we are not voting for a pastor, but we are voting to stop the spread of evil as much as possible. Please watch the video here if you have a chance: https://notthebee.com/article/john-macarthur-says-the-choice-for-christians-this-election-is-very-clear In other countries, people do not have any say in who is leading them. God has given us a gift–a vote, a chance to stop the spread of evil. Every vote counts, and this simple act could make a huge difference in the history of the world.
Isaiah 1:17 NKJV
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
Thank you so much for reading and for praying about these issues. May the Lord bless you, and may His will be done!
