Coincidence or not? Hmmm. . .
On this election day, November 2, 2010, the reading was from 1 Timothy. In chapter 2, verses 1 and 2, Paul writes, "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
Regardless of who you did or did not vote for today, one thing is clear, we have a mandate as Christians to pray for our leaders. James 5:16b tells us "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (much more than a vote cast at a polling site).
Take a minute to offer a prayer for wisdom and strength for the leaders of our city, state, country and world.
