Every Vote Counts

“I have written thirty sayings for you, filled with advice and knowledge. In this way, you may know the truth and take an accurate report to those who sent you.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Amid all of Solomon‘s observations. It is an important truth for anyone in a country where voters choose their leaders. When a noble leader is in charge of the land, happiness is the result. Solomon also observes that when a servant, not a leader, is in charge, there is sorrow in the land. When a king or a President is following someone else’s orders or is more committed to a political agenda than to leading the nation, he or she brings great sorrow. Let’s choose leaders who bring righteousness and holiness to our land.

May our vote be based on biblical wisdom.
