Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Our lives are full of choices. Today, we head to the polls to make our choices for various political offices and issues of which the battles have been quite fierce. It has been extremely difficult to discern fact from fiction, which in turn makes it hard to choose wisely when voting. How do you know what is truth and what is false as you listen to the candidates clamoring for your vote? Even researching on one’s own can be overwhelming, especially with all the negativity that is on the airwaves and social media. In the end, some simply choose to vote along party lines, while others allow celebrities or athletes to influence their votes. There are those who vote according to their religious beliefs, and others who follow their own personal convictions. There are some whose enthusiasm for our civic duty propels them to cast their votes early, and sadly there are also those who do not vote at all.
The freedom to make choices that influence our lives is precious, and we should never neglect an opportunity to do so in America. While election outcomes may sometimes be unexpected or even unwanted by some, the democratic process is what our forefathers ordained for this country to make it strong and remain free, and this is one of the rights that our military men and women have fought to preserve throughout the years. Please, take the time today to vote. It is your right and privilege as a citizen of the United States of America to do so.
