Rest Assured in the Election

So now that the debates are finished and we are off and running with this race 'til November 4th with every talking head analyzing every angle possible and polls published daily to find out the spread until we all become numb. We now have the responsibility to do the most powerful thing that we can as American citizens. We must VOTE! A friend of mine said a few weeks ago that no matter how things turn out on election day, we should never forget that we serve a God who supersedes all this. This morning as I was reading the booklet, "If my People," a 40 day prayer guide leading up to the election, I was reminded of this idea. The scripture passage was from the book of Psalms,

Hear my cry, O God;

Attend to my prayer.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,

When my heart is overwhelmed;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For You have been a shelter for me,

A strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;

I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

Psalm 61:1-4

What a reminder that whatever the outcome of this election is that we can trust in the shelter of His wings. So when you step into that voting booth in a few days be reassured that you are not voting for your preference or party, but vote for God's will and know that He will reign. So go VOTE now and exercise God's will through His Body, the Church.
