Decision 2012

As Christian voters, we pray that God might place the correct person over us in leadership: this can sometimes really stretch our faith! Then, we vote. In this particular election, it was extremely difficult to decide how to vote, and then… I voted for a candidate who is unknown by many; one who shares my personal values and beliefs (I would rather go hungry and have no place to lay my head then to stand for the murder of thousands and thousands of innocent children each year and the mutilation of Godly family structure in our nation), knowing full well he would not be selected. I knew that one of the mainstream candidates was going to win.

So, I prayed… and the results did bring me down, I have to admit. But then, I remembered (with the help of loved ones) that God is still in control. Of this I am convinced: God will use whoever is in office to accomplish His perfect will on earth both among His faithful children and among His lost sheep. It is now our job to love our President, pray for him, and know that God too can speak to his heart and open his mind and eyes to HIS will. God can also harden his heart, if He so chooses, to bring about HIS will in His people and among this nation and beyond.
