Election Day
Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Joshua 5:12-14
Joshua was asking the wrong question. A modern-day Joshua would ask Jesus (who scholars say is the man standing in front of Joshua), “Are You for the Republicans or the Democrats, are You for Trump or Harris?”
And Jesus would answer, “Neither. What I’m really asking is are you for Me?”
You might think, “Why wouldn’t Jesus be for the Israelites against the pagans in Jericho? After all, they were his chosen people.” What Jesus is telling us today is that there is only one side to take – that of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It’s not Trump or Harris. It’s Jesus Christ we must choose. Then life will become clear to us, and we won’t get caught up in distractions. Today, I ask you to take a stand, but not for Trump or Harris. Take a stand for Jesus. In the last election, I wrote in Jesus Christ as my choice for president.

I LIKE that idea- vote for Jesus! We have two poor choices, so why not. My brother, Tommy, has voted for his wife in the past 2 elections and again in this one. That’s a pretty good “write in”, but yours is better!
