No Matter What the Exit Polls Say, I Will Vote.

No matter what the "experts" and exit polls say, I will exercise my right and responsibility as a United States Citizen to vote.  I hope you exercise your right and responsibility and vote as well.

Remember, despite what you think or believe--God is in control.  He is. Whether you believe it or not. Whether you believe in Him or not. Our belief, or unbelief, in no way negates Who He is. He can, will, and does, use whomever and whatever He chooses, and He does not need our permission. But more importantly, He can change hearts and minds.

He used the corrupt country of Babylon to discipline Isreal for turning away from Him.  He used the unwilling, stuttering Moses to become His mouthpeice and then lead His favored People out of captivity.  He used a hot-headed fisherman named Peter to become one of the Pillars of Faith. He used a small boy armed with just a sling-shot to slay an armored giant. He used Esther to save her people. He took Saul, a persecuter of believers, and changed his heart, and renamed him Paul. Speaking of changing hearts, he took the heart of an adulter, who plotted the death of an innocent, and changed him into a man, who remained very flawed, but a man who was also known as "a man after God's own heart."

I'm going to bed now, safe in the knowledge that God is in control.

Tomorrow I will exercise my responsibility, and great privilege, to vote for the flawed candidate I feel is up to the challenge of becoming the most powerful person in the world. I hope that person shares some of my beliefs on matters important to me; however, no matter the outcome, I will remember:  God is in control and He does not require my permission to accomplish His will, in the way He sees fit.
