Daily Word: Vote to be Counted: Accountability and Responsibility as Followers of Jesus Christ

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to live with accountability and responsibility in every part of our lives, including our role as citizens. God watches over governments and leaders, promoting or demoting them according to His purposes.

Sometimes, God even allows wicked rulers to lead as a way to bring people back to Him. This truth reminds us that God is ultimately in control, and we have a role to play by voting with a clear conscience.

Psalm 75:6-7 (KJV) tells us, “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” This scripture reminds us that God is in charge of raising up leaders and removing them. It is our job to seek His wisdom and pray for those in authority, and we must vote responsibly, thinking carefully about our choices.

When righteous leaders are in power, the people rejoice. But when wicked rulers lead, people suffer and groan, as Proverbs 29:2  KJV explains. This verse shows us the importance of choosing leaders who honor God and lead with integrity. By voting for leaders who value justice, kindness, and truth, we bring blessings to our communities.

Proverbs 29:12 KJV  warns, “If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked.” This means that dishonest leaders can harm an entire nation by surrounding themselves with others who do not seek truth. As Christians, we are responsible for considering these things when we vote, choosing leaders who seek truth and righteousness.

In Jeremiah 23:1-4 KJV, God warns against leaders who harm or mislead His people. He says, “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” God cares about how His people are led, and He promises to hold leaders accountable for their actions. Our vote is one way we can stand for leaders who honor God’s ways.

As you prepare to vote, remember that you are accountable to God. Pray about your choices, read about the candidates, and seek to vote with a clear conscience. When you do this, you can trust that you have done your best to make a good decision. By voting wisely, we honor God and promote good in our communities.

In conclusion, being responsible citizens means praying for our leaders, voting carefully, and trusting God’s ultimate control. Let’s strive to make choices that reflect our faith and values.

Reflective Question: How can I ensure that my choices as a voter reflect my faith and values in Jesus Christ?

Romans 10:9-10  9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation
