From Dr. Jim Denison: What the world values is seldom what God rewards (1 Samuel 16:7). Today’s election is pivotal in many ways, but the throne of God is higher than the Oval Office (Isaiah 6:1). In light of this transcendent reality, consider three biblical imperatives on this Election Day.
One: Vote. Most people across most of human history never had such a privilege. Your citizenship on earth is part of your citizenship in heaven (Romans 13:1).
Two: Love those who voted for someone else. Your grace and our unity are critical to our witness. God’s word is clear: “Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14). For more on this critical issue, please see my latest website article, A simple but profound response to Election Day.
Three: Live for the long run. Ten thousand millennia after the next presidential administration is forgotten, Jesus’ reign will have only begun. So refuse to fear the future. Instead, declare with the psalmist, “The Lord is the stronghold of my life.” Then you can ask, “Of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).
