What’s happening in our local, state, and federal government is VERY important to God. God is not looking simply at outcomes based on a one-day voting count. God is looking at the heart of the nation.

Are we a nation that seeks God? Are we a people who sincerely ask God who to vote for? Do we trust that God has strategically planned each destiny? God wants to prosper a nation who seeks His heart, but He has promised to abandon people who ignore Him.

What does God see when He looks at you? Does He see someone who puts energy into assessing the leadership qualities of our city, county, state, and federal government candidates or does He see a lazy, uninterested person who is willing for the wrong people to be in seats of leadership? (When I say “assessing” in that question, I’m primarily including a sincere conversation with God where you identify who He specifically wants in each representative seat.)

Don’t choose a candidate for their outward appearance. Allow God to choose the person that He has intentionally positioned for the path ahead. God has woven into His chosen person what is needed to advance His provision and protection. The wrong person elected will produce what we deserve for refusing to seek God.

We cannot ever choose someone just because they say they are a Christian. There are many so-called Christians that will be judged harshly by God for their vanity, greed, and schemes against mankind. We should all want leaders who hear God’s voice and follow Him. Without that, we will fail and deservedly so.

Do you hear God’s voice in prayer?
