Who
will you Stand for in 2012
“Let
everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority
except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God.”
Romans 13
I’ve never really been too big into politics, so I guess you
can imagine that I really dislike election time. Now, don’t get me wrong, the
election is VERY important, and I think it is very important that we all vote,
but I don’t like what it does to everyone.
It is battle in every aspect of the word. Republican versus democrat, this law versus that
law, he did this but he did that, when does it stop?
November 6th!
The party or law you choose may
not win, you might not get your way…
I understand that people are passionate about what they feel,
but God’s people should be spending more time with Him about who and what to
vote for, then trying to convince everyone else what is right or wrong.
It is so important that we all do our homework and really
understand who and what we are voting for, but more importantly we need to ask
ourselves, WHO do we stand for and WHO are we fighting for?
No matter how the election turns out our battle is still the
same. At the finish line who is in control? Who is left standing when we are
all too weak to keep fighting? Who has even given us the freedom to make a
choice in the first place?
I stand for Christ. No
matter who wins, I still put my faith in Him.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I just hate all the fighting while trying to convince others your side is right.
God loved us so much He gave us the freedom to make a choice. If God's people are making choices based on biblical principles then our choices are Christ centered and God directed.
When it is all over, in the end, God is in control! He allows us to make the choice and then I believe He will lead us from there. He allows everything to happen...

We have the freedom to make a choice and God should be guiding
that choice through pray and direction.
Who do you stand for? Who are teaching your children to stand
for, to respect? I want my children to know that God allows and appoints ALL
kings and leaders and we will respect them no matter what. No matter how angry
politics may make us, God can and will lead His people to His will, even if we don't understand it.
Romans 13 says, “Let everyone be subject to
the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has
established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”
As the election comes to an end and you head out to vote, just
remember, Today is a gift from Him. No
matter what our future holds, He will be there. We may be surprised, and we may
or may not like how certain things end up, but God is leading us if only we
choose to follow.
Who do you stand for today?
Can we let go of the control we so desperately think we hold? Make a choice and give it to God.
Giving up control does not mean that we simply stand on the
sidelines and wait for God to sweep us into His arms and flow blessings upon
us. No, it simply means that we are giving Him the control to lead us; guide
us, and direct us toward His will and not our own.
Who will choose today? Forever?
Pray for our nation today. Pray for America!!!
We need God more then EVER!!!
We need God more then EVER!!!
