I went to cast early voting last Friday and had to come back because the line was so long and it looked like good 2 hours of waiting. Now I know that I have to get to the poll early on Nov 3rd to cast a vote.
This will be my first vote as a Georgian and I’m really looking forward to the experience.
I remember vividly what was like in year 2016 after the election when our current president Donald Trump got elected.
Every Americans were in shock then half of them went to celebrate and other half went to disbelief. It was so polar opposite and I’ve never witnessed anything like that in my life.
Well, It has been 4 years and here we are again, trying to elect our next President of the United States of America.
I’ve been praying and thinking about the election and one thing became so certain to me. It doesn’t matter who wins the election because our life will go on and I trust my God, who’s in charge of all, will continue to work out salvation for everyone. That’s it! At then end, that’s what really matters to us.
I’m not saying this election is not important. Actually I think it is extremely important but what I’m trying to say is, whoever wins, what really important for His kingdom and our church won’t change anything. My trust in God that God will continue to work out everyone’s salvation through His church and that’s what we should focus on before and after the election.
The Bible teaches us to submit/honor authority, not out of blind faith but for our benefit of living peaceful life. (for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. - 1 Timothy 2:2) But that doesn’t mean to neglect our personal responsibility before God.
On Nov 3rd, whoever gets elected, let us all pray for our leader and for us to continue on the ministry of Jesus to share the message of hope.
