The Home Stretch

 

We closed out the first week of early voting with having had an incredible turnout of voters.  People from every walk of life have shown up with enthusiasm, casting their ballots with hope and purpose. And now, as we move into the final stretch, there’s an energy in the air, a hopeful anticipation that the path we’re on will lead us closer to God’s heart for our future.

In moments like this, the Bible calls us to stay focused on what’s truly good and noble. Philippians 4:8 reminds us to think on “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable.”

If our leaders spoke this way -- lifting up, building bridges, sowing unity -- what a change we would see! And yet, no matter the outcome, one truth stands firm: God remains on His throne, faithful and just, guiding us all in His divine wisdom.

We may feel the weight of uncertainty, but let’s hold on to Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice.” Every vote cast is an opportunity for God’s light to shine, a seed planted for a future led by compassion and integrity.

Hebrews 12:1 encourages us, let’s “run with endurance the race that is set before us.” This is our moment to persevere with faith, lifting each other up as we press toward the finish line.

So, as we enter this final week of early voting, let’s pray that God will guide the hearts of our leaders and our voters alike. May He inspire in them -- and in us -- the wisdom and kindness needed to bring about a future filled with dignity and peace.

God declares in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the plans I have for you…plans to give you hope and a future.” With this assurance, we can keep our heads high, excited for the days ahead and trusting in His perfect plan.

Here’s to a week of possibility, of steadfast hope, and perhaps a few surprises that bring us even closer to a future worth believing in. Let’s finish strong, trusting that God’s will shall be done -- on earth as it is in heaven!

We’re in the home stretch so let’s finish strong, dear friends!
