"Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor." -Proverbs 12:24 (NIV)
Elections can bring out the best and worst in people, regardless of which "side" or candidate you favor. We can put faith in candidates and we can be disappointed when results are not what we hoped for or anticipated. However we should realize that elected officials make up a small part of a community, state, or nation. If we want to see a change or support a goal, we need to be ready to work!
If we choose to sit idly by, then we will end up being ruled by those willing to get busy and involved. We all have talents given to us by God that we can choose to use to better the world in which we live. No matter who may be elected in our states and nations or whether we agree or disagree with the vote of the majority, we can choose to follow and work for God. We can all follow God and make a difference. We can allow Him to bless us and lead us to His glory!
Don't sit by, it's time to get to work for God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for leading me. Help me to know and follow Your will. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
