Garden of your heart

Today's the Day!

I just want to encourage everyone to vote today!  :)  We live in a wonderful country that gives us the privilege of voting our new President, congress, Propositions, etc.  Thank you Lord for this freedom! 

I just want to mention for some  people to consider.  I have heard from some that they are torn over which candidate to vote for.  That's understandable!  But, I do want to mention that the moral (or biblical) issues are of most important.  God has given us guidelines as to what is important to Him.  When the Israelites (throughout the Old Testament) would veer from God's ways, they always eventually were disciplined for that.  God's ways are always higher than our ways (Isaiah 55).   Also, when God mentions to help one another, he doesn't mean through government, but through the church.  Matter of fact, this is in interesting talk I heard by http://www.crown.org/  about the economical times and it is mentioned that when the government would be the one's who tried to be the "cure all" in the Bible, that the governments collapsed.  I had planned to go back and relisten to it and find those passages, but I haven't had a chance and I am too busy today to be able to do that.  

As a Christian, I feel a huge responsibility to vote, but also to pray!  I encourage all Christians to also vote and pray today!  With God all things are possible, but no matter what happens, we must always remember that God is in control!  We can rest and trust in Him!  He raises up "kings" for His purpose!   Let's do our part and leave the results to God!
