Election Day Jitters

I have consulted with my wife and with God on who should be our next President and so far I've not gotten an answer one way or the other. The office of the President will be bestowed upon the one who God has chosen not our own electorate, since He is the one who authorizes human governments not us.

God will decide no matter what the polls say or how many votes seem to disappear or don't appear at all on the ballots. It will be His choice just as it was when He chose David over Saul. The faith of the candidate matters not one bit. Whether he is a Christian or believes in Islam or Buddha or whatever, the choice is God's to make. Whether we suffer under the choice or not is ours.

The facts are that our country has strayed away from its roots, Christian roots. The settlers who came here, regardless of their role in slavery, were mostly Christian missionaries. Our history books may not reflect that now, but at one time they did. There have been many omissions in our history and I pray that we all will do the right thing and demand that those omissions be put where they belong so children will see and be able to understand where they live and why things are the way they are.

My vote may not make much of a difference in the outcome of the election, but God will put the one He wants in office regardless of our preferences and our differences. We are all His people, His creation, and He will make sure that our government is the one that He wants along with the President that He wants to run that government.
