Election day

Today is election day in the US. Either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be our next president.

Ross King wrote a song called Roam With You that describes his perspective of the election.



As an American, we should vote! It is our right granted to us. It is a privilege in this world to choose your leaders, won through blood and toil. As a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, it is our duty to participate in the election of our leaders.

But as a Christian, remember that you are not electing the leader of God's Kingdom. Christ's kingship isn't in jeopardy. We should be choose our leaders wisely, but maintain the proper perspective. The election of one doesn't speed the coming of God's kingdom. God isn't dependent upon a democracy. He acts when he desires at the time and place of His choosing. President Clinton or President Trump, we are still a nation under God, meaning that even the US is under the control of God.

Regardless of the outcome, God reigns. We should pray for our leaders, do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. As Christians, that is our biggest role in the world, being a faithful witness of God's love, no matter who is in power.
