Today is election day here in America. We have had incessant talk from the two major candidates about how good/bad the economy is doing; how much/little has changed in the last four years; how great/sorry a job has been done; how great/sorry a job the other will do. How do you know what to believe?

I have always lived by the philosophy that you believe half of what you see and a fourth of what you hear. However, when it comes to politics, I think that may really be stretching it. I have a tendency to believe that the only true thing any lifetime politician ever says is, "I want your vote."

With all that being said, however, today is the day that we go to the polls and elect the person that we believe will be the best choice to lead our country for the next four years. Another quick "pearl of wisdom" for you - this year, as with most, we have the task of voting for the "least evil of the two lessers."

So, how do we decide? I am glad you asked...today's word comes from Psalm 143:10, NIV, which reads, "Teach me to do Your will, for You are my GOD; may Your good Spirit lead me..."

There is only one source of truth, and that is GOD. If we will ask Him to lead us in our decisions, He will; even the decision of whom to vote for this election day. We must choose to let Him lead us, then, we must act upon His leading; GOD will NEVER lead us wrong.

Today, we get to take part in one of the greatest privileges bestowed upon Americans. We get to go to the polls and civilly/safely/peacefully elect the President of the United States. Don't ever take the sacrifices that allow us this privilege for granted. Allow GOD to teach you to do His will, to lead you in ever aspect of life. And, GO VOTE!

Be Blessed,
