When The Results Come In, How Do I Respond?
When the results come in from today’s election, how do I as a servant of Christ respond?
If I prayed earnestly and voted biblically and my candidates and measures won:
• I rejoice - that God has worked His righteousness in our land. Not just a little but a lot! This is better than my favorite team winning. Proverbs 28:12
• I consider – my ways, the ways of the church and the ways of the nation. What got us in this mess in the first place? Haggai 1:7-10
• I seek - God relentlessly. Isaiah 55:6
• I trust - in His Sovereignty. Revelations 11:15
• I preach - of His glory all the more. Psalms 96:3
If I prayed earnestly and voted biblically yet my candidates and measures lost:
• I grieve - that God’s righteousness has been ignored. Not just for a few minutes. But allowing my heart to break because His is even more. Joel 2:17
• I listen and consider - to what is He is saying to us, His people and consider where we stand with Him. Revelations 2:2-7.
• I humble myself and seek - God, because He is forgiving, good and powerful enough to get us out of the mess we are throwing ourselves into. II Chronicles 7:14
• I trust - in His sovereignty. He is The King and His Kingdom will reign in the end and forever. Revelations 11:15
• I preach - of His deliverance. Colossians 1:13
