“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God,” Romans 13:1 ESV. People of faith are often perplexed when dealing with governments. Their authority is established by God, but they are not always godly. Today will be very trying for our nation, a major election always is. Today, EVERY VOTE MATTERS! Tomorrow, only the final count will matter. No matter what happens, God will remain on His throne and we as His people must go about honoring His choices. We can’t have it both ways, either Jesus is LORD or He’s not. So, I have voted, and the results are in God’s hands. Please vote. And tomorrow, please pray for the leader God chooses. And be nice about it. Kindness will be needed. Father, into Your Mighty hands I submit my choice, and I will accept Yours with grace and sincerity.
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.
