Be ready to vote wisely in the upcoming 2016 Presidential election

November 2016 seems a long way from now, and it is.  By the time it arrives we will be weary of the speeches by the candidates and alarmed by their vicious, verbal attacks on their opponents, which mostly are proven to be untrue.  A plus to this long period of time is this: as God’s people we have the opportunity to pray for many days that God’s truth will prevail and the lies and false promises will be exposed.

Anyone who has run and won a race knows the following steps are necessary:

Get ready – Be physically and mentally alert.
Get set – Be prepared to start and to finish.
Go – Keep your eyes on the goal.

The same guidelines apply to you when you are about to help elect our next president, our next state governor, or the next mayor of our city.

Get Ready – Research the backgrounds of each candidate.  Make a pro and con list of where they stand on what you believe to be the best for your city, state or country.  Does their past record show that they have done what they said they would?  Are they trustworthy to represent you?

Get Set – Know, before you go to the polls, who you are going to vote for and why.

Go – Cast your vote as an informed voter doing their civic duty. Pray that, God willing, they will win.

Proverbs 15: vs. 29 – “The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.”

Psalm 34: vs. 15 – “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.”

God’s people have a responsibility of electing government leaders who will bring America back to being a land based on Christian principles; a  land that will once again be blessed by God.
