Today is it.

Today is the day. Today, America's future is decided. This election is seen as one of the most important elections ever, and one of the closest as well. My facebook has been a place for much discussion and debate. And I am ok with that, because although I do not enjoy politics, I understand their importance.

As Christians, we have not done our job in voting. Our not voting is a vote and we have let it get out of hand. We have a responsibility to God first, America second, our loved ones third, and ourselves fourth to vote. And to vote Biblically.

Both candidates are human. Both are not perfect. But we have to vote who is closest to Scripture. I stole this from my friend, Sarah, but this is 100% true for me:

I voted for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:17).

I voted for the most pro-Israel candidate, because God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who don't (Genesis 12:3).

I voted for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7).

I voted for the most pro-marriage candidate, because God is for marriage as defined in Genesis 2:24.

I voted based as closely as I can on God's Word (2 Timothy 3:16)

[SIDENOTE: Simply the right to vote is a privilege. My travels in the few third world countries I have been to has proven to me that the fact I get to vote without paying someone, fighting for it, dying for it, or not having the option at all is something that most of the world cannot say. Today, I am grateful I get to vote.]

As today plays out and (hopefully) you vote, join me in praying for our nation. God already knows who will be the next POTUS and He is the one who places them there.

"He controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars." -Daniel 2:21

"Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity." -1 Timothy 2:2

"Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader..." -Ecclesiastes 10:17a


"When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability." -Proverbs 28:2

Ok, ok I am done. Well almost.. I will end with this statement and one last verse. It is hard for me to trust God, but we must. We must do our part and then trust Him. 

"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God." -Romans 13:1

God Bless America.
