Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
Today many Americans will exercise one of the freedoms that many men have fought and died for, the right to vote in our Democracy. This is such a blessing, but along with this comes much fear, anxiety and anger for many people. What if my candidate doesn't get elected? Hatred towards the opposing party.. etc. etc. The bottom line is as believers, we are no longer citizens of this place. Our allegiance to the U.S. should never override our allegiance to God the Father. When fear and hatred start to creep in we need to turn the news off and examine our hearts as to who our allegiance is to. Scripture says that we are citizens with the saints and members of the household of God (Eph 2:19). Don't get me wrong, I'm a patriotic person, I love my country.. just not as much as my Jesus. We must understand that we are no longer a part of this world so no matter what the outcome is, our Father is in control, our KING is forever on the throne and he is well aware of what is taking place. He is sovereign over who wins this Presidency. My prayer is not "Lord, let my candidate win" but "Lord, let whatever needs to take place for your Kingdom to come to take place. Not my will but yours be done.". I do not wish to see our country perish or become a socialist country, however if that is a part of His plan in order for his Kingdom to come.. bring it on! Whether I wake in the morning with this country under new leadership, or under the same leadership (hopefully not) regardless my King is on the throne and I will walk boldly in faith and trust knowing that He has placed who HE wants in office for HIS plan to be fulfilled. Pray, vote and trust. Come Lord Jesus come!
