An Election Day thought

The first Tuesday in November is finally here —Election Day in the U.S. 

Regardless of who you and I vote for President, the outcome will affect generations to come. Today is a good day to pray that God will have mercy on our nation and guide all of our future leaders.

I find great comfort in the following verses. They remind me that no mater how various elections turn out, God is in control.

"He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them." (Job 12:23)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

He is able,

November 4—Election Day

Tuesday's Thought

Soon we will know who will be the next President of the United States.

I remember going with Mom and Dad to vote as a child. We waited in line at an elementary school near our house. Somehow I realized that voting was a privilege not to be taken lightly.

If you have older grandchildren, today’s a great time to talk with them about the cost of freedom—the men and women who gave their lives so that we can be a free country ... and vote.

It’s a great time to share memories of voting. Did you go to the polls with your parents? How has the voting process changed in your lifetime? We could share these memories with a stroke of the pen, a phone call, or e-mail.

And it’s a great time to write grandchildren a letter reminding them that regardless of the outcome of any election, God is sovereign.

As Psalm 103:19 tells us: The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all.”

He is able,
Mary
