Duty. Right. Privilege.
Deuteronomy 17:15
(Amplified)
Be sure to appoint over you the
king who the Lord your God choose. He must be from among your own brothers. Do
not place a foreigner over you, one who is not a brother Israelite.
You need to be active in choosing who is ruling your nation.
This person is going to be deciding your laws,
your health care, what happens to your money, our relationships
with other nations…etc.
Exodus 18:17 (Message)
And then you need to keep a sharp
eye out for competent men – men who fear God, men of integrity, men who are
incorruptible – and appoint them as leaders over your groups…
You can't just say "I don't care who the president is." You
SHOULD care! Because I'll tell you the truth: The people who
claim who they don't care are the first and the loudest to complain about the
elected commander-in-chief.
You don't have the right to
complain if you never found out who stood
for what you believed in, you never rallied people to see things in the
same light as you. You never raised awareness.
Exodus 22:28(Message)
Don't curse God, and don't damn your leaders.
You're simply not sitting
in that oval office. You don't know what its like to lead a nation. You
don't know why some of the decisions are made, and maybe you never will
understand. We're not meant to know everything! Maybe they truly are
making poor decisions but the fact is: you're
not the one in the hot seat. You're not even advising the person in
the hot seat! Who are you to judge?! There is only one judge, and I trust Him alone to that task.
The right to VOTE is the
number one most important right you have as a citizen of the United
States of America
YOU have the
right to help choose who is in control of your country. There was a time when
only a select few had that right. Now we are all equally
able to exercise this right. So many of you don't and it's sad. There are too many places in this world where
the people don't get to choose who rules them.
Deuteronomy 1:9
(Message)
So select some wise,
understanding and seasoned men from your tribes, and I will commission them as
your leaders.
It is your DUTY.
It is your RIGHT. It is your PRIVILEGE.
As an American and/or as a Christian.
