Election Lessons



I'm taking two simple lessons from this year's election. They probably hold true for all elections.

First, that God "...removes kings and establishes kings" (Daniel 2:21). Contrary the theory of democracy, choosing rulers is emphatically not man's prerogative.

Second, that the only real importance of anyone's vote is that it shows what a voter's heart approves.

Scripture says “Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.” (Romans 14:22) And "...if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God" (I John 3:21).

So true.

But how many cast a vote with that in mind? Too few I suspect.
