We Can Rejoice On Election Day
Yes, We Can Rejoice On Election Day
What day is it today?
November 3, 2020, you might say.
But I bet many more of you would say it’s Election Day.
This has been a very long year.
Can I get a witness?
Please raise your hand if you’re suffering from Election Overload.
Too many hands to count.
I’m guessing many would also say that this is the most important election decision of our lifetime.
If you haven’t already voted, please brave the long lines and do so. Don’t let the mainstream media tell you it’s all over – until it actually is.
Our right to vote is a precious freedom that we Americans shouldn’t take for granted.
By the way, anyone even suggesting that you shouldn’t vote is being completely irresponsible.
Yes, we must prepare for persecution, but not usher it in via silence. Should we not contend for freedom and godly legislation? Should we remain silent and let the waves of political correctness run our vessels into the rocks of destruction? – Lead Pastor Shane Idleman, Westside Christian Fellowship.1
Excellent points the pastor makes.
Keep Your Eyes On The Big Picture
As contentious as election day is, regardless, this is “a day the Lord has made.”
The Lord created this day and every other day – past, present, and future because He is always good.
But, what if my presidential choice doesn’t win?
Trust me, I’m right there with you.
If my choice doesn’t win, I’ll be understandably disappointed, but it won’t ruin the rest of my life.
The second part of that lovely Psalm puts it right on the line.
“Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.”
What we can rejoice about the day after election day is that, ultimately, God will triumph over evil.
No matter what.
In God’s timing, Jesus will return and put an end to all Evil in all of its forms.
The evils of abortion, selfish pride, trafficking, violence, idolatry – all of it.
I can’t wait for that, can you?
Rejoice on Election Day – We Know Who Wins
Keep your eyes on the prize, even on election day.
For Christ’s victory on the cross, we can truly and eternally rejoice.
You know who wins the final election?
My brothers and sisters in Christ – we do.
Maranatha!
