Vote for God!

Oh what amazing times we live in – how wonderful it is to be in the company of sooooo many prophets and proclaimers of God’s intent for our vote in the national elections.

In the past few months we’ve all seen thousands of comments and posts from clergy and layperson proclaiming prophecies similar to:

“God has chosen (insert your candidate/party here), and God will use him for His purpose for our nation.”

Perhaps, just maybe the Creator of all things did select and ordain thousands of us to be so inspired as to profess His intent over the, now sanctified internet – I guess, the All Mighty may have dispatched countless social media prophets, and appointed them to echo His inspired electoral will for this nation?

I’m no prophet, but at the risk tempting Deuteronomy 18:20, I tend to believe otherwise.

I was taught to believe God’s intent, His holy will is more powerful and superior than anything we can wrap our simple minds around – God’s plan and His will needs no president or party – God knows how this election will turn out – He also knows that this election is only a tiny spark in the massive inferno that is His greater will and plan for all things.

What little bit I remember about God’s will and purpose for our lives, is focused on each of our individual hearts and motives – and if that’s correct, then God’s will is manifested in our lives by what we do and why we do it – perhaps things like:

Caring, loving, raising, serving, helping, sharing, feeding, training, assisting, teaching, guarding, shielding, adopting, fostering, nurturing, providing, sheltering, defending, protecting, supporting.

Nothing prophetic there – just God fearing people, doing God centered things (with, or without an election) – plus, there’s no fear of being hounded for voting against the proclamations of the many social media prophet’s roaming the ‘inner webs’.

One last thing – in the end, this election will be done – and not all social media prophets will have professed correctly – will that make them false prophets?
