“VOTE”

Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 449
November 5, 2019//

Today is election day. In many states various offices will be voted on.

Here in Georgia we are not voting on Governor or Lieutenant Governor but on other things more local.

In my county of Henry and in some other counties, the sale of alcohol by the drink on Sunday is on the ballot.

These grieves my heart that we are losing the reverence for setting aside Sunday in honor to the Lord God Almighty.

I believe the word of God teaches that we should abstain from strong drink.

Proverbs 20:1 (KJV)
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Proverbs 23:29-33 (KJV)
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

Isaiah 5:11 (KJV)  Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

I believe the Bible teaches that strong drink impairs people’s judgement and causes them to make wrong choices.

I know I feel more strongly about this than some do but I encourage you to go out to the polls today and let your voice be heard on whatever is being voted on in your county or district.

If we want our country to continue to be for the people and by the people we must vote.

And we must pray for every election large or small. The local elections very much set the course for our children’s schools and other influential areas.

We must pray daily for our country and for our leaders eyes to be opened to truth and the foundation of the Word of God this country was founded on.

We have come a long way regarding the rights of all people, male and female.

But we have gone way away from God in the moral aspects of this country. We are murdering babies by the millions. We are filling our theaters and television screens with filth and violence. We have desired that God be removed from our schools, communities, and nation.

And look at the mess that has gotten us into.

It is only the praying children of the Most High God that is holding this nation and this earth together.

We must pray and ask God to heal our land and invade our leaders with wisdom.

And we must get out and vote in good, Godly men and women of God to guide our nation. We must vote to keep evil and bay and bring in the Glory of God.

Do I believe this can happen in this United States of America?

Absolutely!! Prayer changes things.

Pray daily for our President and his family, the Vice-President and his family, the Cabinet Members, the Senate and House of representatives, the Supreme Court Judges, the Lower Court Judges. The Governors, Lieutenant Governors, State Supreme Court and Lower Court Judges and all elected and appointed officials both local and national.

May I tell you this is the only way you will see real change!

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
 If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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.
VOTE AND PRAY!!!! GOD WILL HEAR!!!!

Father, thank you for the privilege to live in the United States of America. Thank you for the freedom to worship you we enjoy in this Great Country. I pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in other parts of the world who are being persecuted and killed for their Faith. Strengthen them, Father God and send Angels to deliver them. Help your people in the U.S. who have such freedom to worship realize that if we do not pray and let our voices be heard we could begin to see the persecution other parts of the world are seeing. Stir each one who reads this to pray daily for our Nation. I ask it all in Jesus name.

Love, MeMaw
