The Primary season is over and it appears the candidates are now in place for the two major political parties who will now press toward the November election for President of the United States of America. Probably you, like me, have been fascinated by the nominating process, especially on the Democratic side. Regardless of who may ultimately be the victor this Fall, one thing is certain. God is at work in His world and nothing is a surprise to Him. We as citizen of this nation have a responsibility to cast a vote for those we believe hold to the values that are consistent with God's Word.
Two areas must be matters of prayer for the follower of Jesus. First, we should pray for God's direction for our country. May the Lord give us leaders of character and integrity who will rule consistently with the truth of Scripture. Second, whoever wins, we are required by the Word of God to pray for our leaders. That is true for godly and ungodly leaders alike. Through the political process your preference or my preference may or may not be the winner of the election. Our part is not be partisan but to be prayer warriors for the kingdom of God. Politics will never provide the spiritual answers needed in America and the world. Followers of Jesus are to be the salt and light that will make the difference in the righteousness of a nation.
