For those of you who live in the United States, can you tell it is an election year? Every night there is a debate among people and the news media about which candidate is more qualified to be the next President of the United States. On and on they drone trying to convince us, or maybe themselves, that a particular person should be elected. Along with this, the commentators will throw in out of context blurbs from each candidate and their running mates in an effort to sway the opinion of the American people. Mind you, the media knows the power they wield. Most people, who will actually vote, will make their decision based on what the media tells them.
I would challenge you to make your choice based not on the economy, foreign policy, domestic policy or even the morals of the candidates, but based on 1 Chronicles 7:14 "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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
It is time for Christians to stop seeking wisdom and guidance from the news media. Stop making your decisions based on what those who hate to hear the name of Jesus mentioned tell you. The news media is not interested in what is best for this nation. The media would have you believe that more money, bigger houses, big, luxurious cars, more lands, the latest expensive designer clothes, and sex are the great gods to be worshipped in this nation. We are told in Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom he has chosen for His own inheritance." It is time for those who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ to unite and once again make our God the LORD and to turn away from the deception of the gods of this world. Spend time seeking God in order to know how He wants you to vote.
The LORD bless you as you seek His wisdom for this election.
I love you,
Ruth
