This election won't fix our problems. The problems of our country will only be fixed when "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (II Chro. 7:14)
It was exactly what I needed to hear because just because I don't like talking about politics doesn't mean I don't have an informed, strong opinion about who should and should not get into office come November. And while I believe that if the right man is elected into office that some things might be changed for the better, it is also true that one man isn't going to fix it all. The problem doesn't lie in who is occupying the White House. The problem lies with God's people. God's people who have compromised. God's people who have left standards, doctrine, and God's Word in the dust of the past. God's people who have turned a blind eye to what the Lord is trying to show them for what they want to see. "But my people would not hearken to my voice ... So I gave them up unto their own hears' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and...had walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries." Psalms 81:11-14
We need to stop believing what certain people tell us, stop believing what we want to believe. We need to make sure every one of these beliefs line up with God's Word.
So I ask you with my whole heart to, with a heart open to Christ, seek His Word and His heart, prayerfully, concerning who you should vote for. I also beg you. With my whole being. To fall on your face before a loving God Who is waiting to heal our land, to begin again to bless this country. I'm challenging myself in this too. How could I say what should and should not be done in this country if I am not willing to call upon the Lord on behalf of this country. This country that I still believe is the best country in the World. And I pray it stays that way.
With Prayers, Sarah
