Your Duty as a Voter
by Tonja Taylor

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

 

The LORD leads us in right paths for His Name's sake.  He gives us the power to impact this world--with our words, our gifts, our service, our money, and our vote!

As Christians, we are called to emulate Christ. To me, this means that we are to do our best, with His help, to follow what the Word says.  

When we vote to put a ruler over us, that means we are using our power to either put someone who will affect our lives and many others that is going to help us--or hurt us.  

So we need the wisdom of God.  To me, this means we see what His Word says, which IS His wisdom, and then go by it as much as possible when we vote.

So we can make it personal, and say, "Father, I ask You for wisdom about whom to vote for. I want the person who is going to be the best for me and this country (whatever country you are in!), this state, this province, this county, this region. You alone know the hearts of every candidate. I ask that You show me clearly how to vote, and I thank You for it, in Jesus' Name."

Also, He showed me that Psalm 25 has two verses we can claim. One says He leads the humble in what is right, and the other says He instructs even sinners (those who don't know Jesus) in His way.  Also, one more verse in that Psalm says that those who fear, revere and worship Him He will teach His ways.

You can, like me, claim all of these Scriptures for yourself, for wisdom for voting, and for every other part of life.

God always honors His Word, and His angels hear His Word in our mouths and work with it!
