I found it interesting this morning of election day that my devotional title was “Facing Life’s Mountains”.  I have always been a huge supporter of our country’s political system in light of the rest of our world.  But, I haven’t lived through such a hateful, divisive six-twelve months as these have been.  I purposely have not addressed any of this in my blog because my blog’s purpose has always been my life’s journey from the darkness of my past into the light of my being a new creation–an heir of God as I say in my book.

So, why am I doing it now on election day?  It’s because today is the first election day I’ve lived where I know and breathe as a new creation of God.  Thus, it has been different for me as I’ve witnessed what we all have in this raucous campaign.  I don’t think either of our major choices lives a life committed to God but it is not difficult to see which one better supports God’s Kingdom work by surrounding themselves with committed Christians.  As I was praying this morning while having my devotions I prayed for God’s fullness to be made know this day.  He reminded me that His gift to man in His first creation was choice.  Either way this election goes, He will ultimately bring this world to its intended end.  What we do with our portion of time is in our hands of choice.

I sincerely pray that God will be seen today as the One recognized for the outcome of this election.  So, be sure and use the gift God gave to us all–choice.  This is one thing that our country has not moved away from in how it recognizes man.  Most of our world’s other countries dishonor their people with their election times.   God be glorified today!
