Both the intensity and the ubiquity of the political conversations in this election year may be unparalleled, at least in recent history. What is most troubling is the bitter rancor of almost every conversation. Political conversations are not civil; they sound more like civil war. Where do Christians turn for guidance?
I feel a bit like Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate, when they had no silver or gold to give to the lame man. I have no silver bullets or golden answers, but as they did, so I would like to also offer you what I do have.
I am writing and preparing 40 days of meditations for all who need a word of guidance in this election, not my words (much) but words from God. I am not going to tell you whose name to mark on your ballot in November, but I do plan to share with you insights from Scripture into God’s activity and will for the nations of the world.
Beginning September 24, I will publish each day for the next forty days, a series of short meditations and prayers under the title King Of All Nations. Each meditation will contain a chosen word from God, sometimes a story, sometimes a psalm, sometimes a prophetic word, but always His Words. After hearing from God, I will try to stimulate your thinking about that text with a few thoughts and questions, then I will offer you a prayer to pray as you seek clarity.
If you are interested in this 40-days of seeking God’s will and plan for our nation, you might want to subscribe/follow to this site, or you can just visit each day.
I promise that you will be challenged by the Word regardless of your current political position!
Watch for further information. And share this with your friends. They are as concerned as you are.
