But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (1 Peter 2:9 NKJV)
Election Day 2010 is upon us and tomorrow millions will be heading out to the polls to vote for the person they are hoping that will help the Country and in return, help them in some way.
“Are you a Democrat or a Republican,” a friend once asked me. I told him that I was neither; but that I was a Christian. As Christians we are a part of the Holy Nation that St. Peter writes about here. We do not have a political party that elects candidates to represent us, we are governed by a Sovereign King and His name is Jesus! We are to represent Him! You and I are blessed in that God has placed us in this great Nation in which we live and we have a responsibility as good citizens of this Nation to cast our vote tomorrow. Men and women have fought and sacrificed their lives for our right to vote. When we fail to exercise that right that makes what they did for us all in vain. Check out the candidates and cast your vote for the one that you feel represents you and your values. Jesus expects us to vote if given the right, He said Himself: “Give to Caesar what is his, and give to God what is His.”
