The Privilege Of Voting
May 24, 2024
Have you recently complained about some government action or policy? I have. And I was reminded to pray I Timothy 2: 1, 2 for those in authority over me. That prompted me to investigate those leaders. What are those leaders saying. Are they doing what they are saying? Proverbs 25:11
Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a ruling rightly given.
Their answers inform my prayers and energize me to vote.
We still have that privilege. It is not guaranteed forever. In many countries some are not allowed for fear of their life. Some sell their vote because they can.
With prayers and votes, leaders may not be God honoring. But we can lead a quiet and peaceable life because we are placing our lives, our surroundings and circumstances in God’s hands.
