So with a little over a week left until the general elections, what are we to think? The media would have you believe that it’s all over but the acceptance speeches. Candidates are pulling out all the stops to boost their capital with voters. What if it doesn’t go the way you want and the other guy is elected? I ran into this passage in Titus 3 yesterday that puts it in perspective:
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. (Titus 3:1-2, NIV)
Bottom line, God is in charge. He knows what the issues are and what is at stake. It is incumbent on us to be active in (Scripturally based) social justice issues and to reflect His nature in all we do, politically, socially, and in every other way. Now get out and vote, but don’t forget who’s in charge.

Amen to that. It’s the main reason I have no problem voting for who I WANT to win .. not just tossing a vote for one of the two ‘big guys’ – God is in charge. I’ll vote for someone I can feel confident in. If God wants him to win, he’ll win. If not – then he won’t. And we’ll let God handle our lives.
