- Mark 12:13-17
- Proverbs 21:1
- Romans 13
And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. -Romans 13:11-14 (NIV)
Four healthy things to do after the election:
- Pray for America and our leaders.
- Honor with your language—don’t mock people’s features or call them names, we are all made in God’s image.
- Rest: Don’t watch the news non-stop. Take a break. Get some literal rest and rest in God’s Sovereignty.
- Live: This election is important but so is living your life. Consider putting your energies into causes you care about in order to see the change you desire.
