Select Capable Officials

We don’t always have to ‘let the chips fall where they may,’ its okay to give them a little direction from time to time. – Anon

When the disciples needed someone to take Judas’ place, they prayed and then cast lots (voted) for Matthias. Hmm!

It has been said that America is a land where a man will cross the ocean to fight for democracy and won’t even cross the street to vote. OUCH! It is our civic duty as Americans, and more so than that; it is our spiritual duty as children of God to be involved in the governmental processes. True, God ‘sets kings up and deposes them,’ but generally God works through people – US – to effect change in the world. If we are to be subject to ‘higher powers’ then we should ensure those in power are men and women of righteous character. VOTE!

Until tomorrow……

Pastor Botts

“But select capable men from all the people – men who hate dishonest gain – and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens…..” – Exodus 18:21
