I
haven’t been writing much lately. God
has not inspired me with a story line.
My attention has been drawn to preparing to travel to New York to see
family for Thanksgiving. I have much to be thankful for and my family is a blessing.
Also,
the election coverage has been a constant source of prayer. I truly enjoy meeting God in the mornings
through prayer. I awaken before dawn and
fix myself a hot drink. Then, bible in hand
I head for my little patio. The cool
morning air is refreshing after a long hot Florida summer.
Today,
I am watching the wind blow through the palm trees as Hurricane Sandy prepares
to edge its way up the east coast. I am
praying it swerves off to the east rather than west.
My
weather alarm went off several times during the night with the storm’s warnings
and watches. I’d love to shut it off but
you never know here in Florida. It might
just save my life.
The
gray sky and strong breeze tells me that Sandy is not a force I wish to reckon
with. Thank God, I know who is in
control of the wind. He listened to me
this morning as I prayed for his favor and grace.
As
for the presidential election…I do not have a favorite choice. Neither man is perfect. However, as we are human…there never was a
perfect man to choose from. I am looking
to God and noticing the actual voting and past promises to find the most Godly
man to vote for.
Some
folks say to vote your conscience, but I prefer to vote God’s values. I vote God’s idea of morals. What God says about being good stewards of
our money holds true with the government spending. What God says about homosexuality, marriage and
murder holds true today. I believe the word of God has a stand on
every issue that we are facing today.
It’s
a matter of right and wrong. Not Right
and Left views. I hope everyone will vote
this year. When I hear folks say it’s a
freedom of choice, I remember what the word of God says. ‘Choose you this day who you will serve’
