We are all well aware of the important election coming up in a couple days in the U.S. As Christians, we should be putting our Christian principles at the top of the list when choosing a candidate.

Most people reading this message live in democratic countries; countries “ruled by the people.” In Bible times, everyone lived in dictatorships. Individuals did not have the ability to decide on their rulers. In our modern democracies, we are essentially the “rulers.” When we vote, we are in the position of the rulers in the Bible times. What did God tell them to do?

When Moses was leading the people from Egypt, He was given the advice in Exodus 18:21 “But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.”

This is the advice we should take as “rulers” of our country. We should select candidates who fear God, and are trustworthy.

Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” If we rule as Christians, our nation will be blessed.

Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of the United States of America. Give us the wisdom and courage to put our faith first when we vote, and be wise rulers. who fear you. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
