The elections have taken place, we have cast our votes, submitted our ballots and now we wait. In some races, we wait for the outcomes. In others, we wait for how the outcomes will affect our lives. The best thing is that we won’t have to endure watching anymore political campaign ads or receive random text messages asking us to vote for certain candidates!
I do think that the most important thing that we as followers of Christ must do is pray. We may not agree with who won, we may not support the propositions that were approved, but we do believe in an all-wise benevolent God. His reign is greater than any kingdom on this earth and as His people, we belong to a kingdom that transcends this world. Our allegiance is to King Jesus. This is the King and the Kingdom who we put our trust in.
So let us be a people that are praying for our nation’s leaders. May we pray for those that are serving in our local communities. They need our prayers as they seek to serve the greater good for all.
Also, I hope that you will have a wonderful Veterans Day. It is a day in which we are grateful for the men and women who have served in our armed forces, protecting our freedoms and helping us be a country that seeks justice and freedoms for all.
See you on Sunday.
