Election Day 2012
Today we as Americans get to
exercise a privilege that we have to choose a leader to take our country
through the next four years. To be honest I must say that I have been greatly
saddened by the negative advertising and slander and what its done to this nation.
I even hear those that say if their candidate does not win, they will never
vote again. We have missed the entire point of living in this land of the free
and home of the brave. Personally, I have even doubted our system…what is truth
and how do I know that I am getting it with all of the spin that is out there?
And then I step back and look at everything and wind up confused, disappointed
and discouraged.
What now? Well I do what I always
do when faced with a huge decision that may have a significant impact on my
life…I research all that I can and then I go to a quiet place and pray. I quiet
all of the voice but the still small voice that speaks to my heart. For
millions of years God has directed people to be in the right place at the right
time and to make decisions that would have eternal rewards for their lives.
This Election Day 2012 is no different. Whether you are for one candidate or
the other is not the issue. Whether your candidate wins, well that’s not the
issue either. The issue is did you pray for guidance and find a peace and
resolve with the decision that you made?
Knowing who to vote for may not be as important as being able to discuss
why you voted for them. “I like him better” is not acceptable in 2012. Voting
for issues, voting for personalities…maybe its time to rethink this. How about
trying to vote for the one that you feel in your spirit is right?
Israel missed the benefits of
God’s plan many times. They had leaders that were not right. But God never
stopped intervening in the process and taking a terrible decision and using it
to bring out the best in them and for them. My prayer is that He will do the
same today and as we, the “united” states of America move forward, we will do
so with God’s blessing, God’s
favor and His grace. God bless America!
Now get out there and vote!
