Pray And Vote
You've probably heard the story of two men walking along a shoreline that was covered with starfish that had washed ashore. Without help, these starfish would soon die, and so one of the men bent over, picked up a starfish, and threw it back into the sea. The other man asked, "what are you doing? You can't save them all. What difference could you possibly make?" With another starfish in his hand, the man answered his friend, "it makes a difference to THIS one!"
Today, as Americans, we have the right and privilege to cast a vote for our leadership from local government to the highest office of our land. It would be easy to decide that my single vote won't make a difference - but that isn't true. God instructs us to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). He also tells us in Proverbs 14:34 (MSG) that "God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak." Every Christian around the world is instructed to pray for our leaders - but Americans actually get to CHOOSE who our leaders will be.
Your vote. My vote. Each one matters. Today let's pray for wisdom and direction from God on who HE would have us choose. Pray...then vote. It will make a difference!
