Praying for local leaders

Why wait until the last minute? There is an election for Mayor in the City of Gainesville in just 2 months, and you need to pray now for those who are running. You should also be praying for a specific result. I am not going to tell you what that result is, but if we were all listening to the Holy Spirit, He'd be sending us all in the same direction because God is not the author of confusion.

I just want to challenge you to take some time, sooner rather than later, and investigate who these people are so you can pray for them and vote intelligently. After all, Paul tells us that he who is in governmental authority is, "God's servant for your good." Are you going to let the unbelieving and ungodly decide who this is? So far, that is your track record in this town.

I urge you to take a little time to refresh your memory on the perils off letting the wicked rule by reading the 9th Chapter of Judges: Jotham's Parable of the Trees. Then you can figure out for yourself who is the good tree and who is the thorn bush.
