Election Day

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14

Do you remember the Sesame Street book where Grover, the furry blue monster keeps urging us not to turn another page of the book because, as the title says, there’s a Monster at the End of This Book?  We read Grover’s warnings but we just can’t stop   turning pages until the end.  In an eighteen month scenario not unlike this picture book, we have arrived at Election Day, and it’s not as scary as we’d imagined.  Right?

Today is one of those days we will remember for many years to come, but the outcome doesn’t have to rock our worlds, because Jesus is still our rock.

Throughout Biblical history, leaders were powerfully used by God despite often severe character flaws. Some examples:

Abraham’s fear caused him to lie and call Sarah his sister when she was really his wife.  Moses’ hot temper led him to kill a man with his bare hands then bury the evidence.  David’s lack of self-control moved him to commit adultery and murder. Still God used these leaders to do great things for His people.

Today, let’s remember who Jesus truly is.  As Isaiah 9 tells us, Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the government will be upon His shoulders and He will reign forever.  

We can be confident that Jesus will do His part.  Will we do ours?  God’s word tells us that if we desire for our nation to be healed then we are to do four key things.  Let’s join the remnant of believers in America that have been doing this for months and strengthen our faith together!  

1. Humble Yourself – Let Jesus grow bigger, as you grow smaller.

2. Pray Every Day – Be in constant conversation with God; morning, afternoon, and night.

3. Seek God – Look to God first in every area of life.

4. Turn to God - Walk in God’s ways, turn from the world’s trappings, and run free in the race God has called you to run.

Then God promises that He will hear our prayers, forgive our sins, and heal our land.  Know God is faithful to keep all of His promises.

Let’s believe God is up to something great in a nation that is humbly praying and seeking Him every day.  Let’s thank Him in advance for the wonderful ways he’s going to heal our land.    

The Power of Giving God Thanks Will Ignite Your Faith and Change Your World!
