Amen, Pegita. Amen.
For the fool speaks folly,
and his mind plots iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the LORD,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
The knaveries of the knave are evil;
he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.
But he who is noble devises noble things,
and by noble things he stands.
Isaiah 32: 6-8
Lord, teach us, as a nation, to choose the good from the bad, see what is dross and what is gold, and to know that light is light, and dark is dark, no matter how pretty they wrap it for us.
Help us choose wisely on Election Day, and help us be the nation you would have us be.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
