A WASTED VOTE!

Posted on by

Any vote you place on a ballot that doesn’t have its origin in specific conversation with God is a wasted vote for you personally. If you didn’t include God, He saw it. He also saw whose opinion was more valued by you.

Did you ignore God when He wanted to give you insight? Did you refuse God’s gentle nudges for you to seek Him in prayer? Did you forget that He is indeed sovereign over life and death (yours included)? Did you forget that He can allow you to be taken into captivity for choosing substitute “gods”?

Why would you allow your vote to be wasted in God’s sight? And please hear me, you don’t get a pass by refusing to vote. God has entrusted you with a sacred duty to seek Him. Refusing to vote is the same as voting contrary to His will. He sees it!

If you break the covenant oath with God to seek Him and obey Him, He can and likely will allow you to feel the weight of the broken covenant.

Warning:
“But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it. I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you. If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.” (Leviticus 26:14-18 NIV)

Why Vote With God’s Heart?

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?
