03 Nov 30 Scriptures to Live By After the Election
Happy Election Day! The Lord placed it on my heart to put a post together of scriptures to reflect on post-election. Don’t get me wrong, these verses would be great to reflect on all year long. But, since tensions will probably be high and a lot us will have voted for a candidate who didn’t win, I thought this would be timely and helpful.
I realize there are hundreds of more verses that I could have pulled, but these just happen to be the ones that jumped out to me as I was reading through my Bible and I hope they bless you too. They range from the topics of how to treat others to praying for those who are in authority.
I want to quickly remind you that no matter who wins this election, the Lord is still on the throne and He still has good plans for you and your family. And that the battles you and I are in are not against other people, but the spiritual forces of the dark world (Ephesians 6:12). I think when we can grasp this truth it changes how we address all topics, including politics.
Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for more specific verse topics as well as a free printable!
