Making hard decisions is a major
inconvenience. While every serious decision requires a viable process, certain
decisions require even more. Today is a seminal moment for the direction of
America. The world’s future will be impacted by the decisions made across the
fruited plain. To fail to decide is to let someone else decide for you. So,
here it is, if you have not already: PRAY, LISTEN, THINK, COMMIT, GET OUT AND VOTE.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
Augustine once said to an abbot "Love God, and do what you please". In other words, if you love God, everything else is going to follow. The same can be said about voting; love God and vote as you please. If you love God, 'how' to vote will be clear.
