As I gathered at my polling place this morning, just minutes after the doors opened, I was amazed at the number of people already there. As I listened to news reports throughout the day I was amazed at how long people waited. People who honk when you pause one second too long to go on green. People who bounce from line to line in hopes of moving through quickest. People who can't survive without instant gratification, instant communication, and instant results. But there they were....waiting. Waiting to cast their vote, waiting to contribute, waiting to impact history.
To me, that's a seed of hope, a hope that people do care. Yes their cares may be different than they were in the past, but they still care. I pray that our God, with His love undeniable, hears those cares. I pray that we as His people seek Him and that our cares will align with His.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive thier sin and will heal their land." 2nd Chronicles 7:14
