What's Most Important

As the election is closing in on us and is less than 2 days away, I was reminded today what is most important. I have been very obsessed with all the many different issues and most recently, with Obama's "Share the Wealth" platform that he has been preaching in recent days. I still am against that principle and get very upset about the prospect of Obama being the leader of this great land. But, today at my church I had with me a list of issues and both candidates stance on these issues. Of course, I agreed wholeheartedly with John McCain and disagreed adamantly with Barack Obama. But as I discussed this list with a very dear young man at church, he said to me, "what is really most important is which one of these candidates is following God's way." He said that we should be voting for the one who stands up for what is right in God's eyes, and he is SO right. It reminded me of one of my favorite Bible verses in II Chronicles 7:14: 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. So, tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m., my church is assembling together for the sole purpose of praying for God's grace, mercies and wisdom in the upcoming election. May He hear our prayers.
