According to the date, it is one day before election. I pray that each one will get out and vote because this is an important election. Vote your conscience after you pray for guidance according to scripture. The only true test is "how God views us as a nation". Our opinions doesn't count, but God has guidelines that will weather the test of time. Break his guidelines and we suffer, just as the Israelites suffered long ago, when they went away from God. History does repeat itself!
II Chronicles 7:14 says "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
My footnote says this about 7:14--In chapter 6 Solomon asked God to make provisions for the people when they sinned. God answered with four conditions for forgiveness: (1) humble yourself by admitting your sins, (2) pray to God, asking for forgiveness, (3) seek God continually, and (4) turn from sinful behavior. True repentance is more than talk--it is changed behavior. Whether we sin individually, as a group, or as a nation, following these steps wll lead to forgiveness. God will answer our earnest prayers.
After we do this, let us all get out and vote tomorrow.
