After the Election!

Dear friends,  So many of us had the privilege that few in this world have and that's to vote.  Of course, we never would tell anyone how to vote but our church encourages all of its members to register.  I know that others, as well as myself, prayed that God would allow the candidates of our choosing to secure a seat for office.    Well the excitement of November 4th is over and whether the election turned out the way you and I would like it to, we still have the power to change things.  I am reminded of two scriptures, one found in Proverbs 21:1 "A king's heart is like streams of water in the LORD's hand: He directs it wherever He chooses."  and the second is found in 1 Timothy 2:2-3 "Pray for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.  3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,"  Folks, we don't quit praying after the election, we continue praying.  Our Prayers are powerful and our God can change the heart of any ruler, even the ones we didn't vote for.  His word tells us that He is pleased when we pray for our leaders.  Those leaders set over you need your prayers, they need the wisdom that only God can give them and you have the power to make that happen.  Now is NOT the time to quit praying, it is the time to pray all the more, because "Prayer is a powerful privilege we all can enjoy every single day of the year."

This is the Pastor's Perspective
