The CK Daily – Hope for Election Day
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! If you’ve somehow been living under a rock for the past 18 months or so… stay there and send me the address!
All joking aside, I’m SURE you are aware that today is Election Day! This day can bring a lot of anxiety, no matter who you voted for or plan to vote for. Presidential elections are a big deal as they shape the direction of our country, so it’s natural that we would be feeling a little anxious and on edge as we await the results.
I recently read an article in Christianity Today that stated:
“I don’t know how the vote will go next week, but here’s one thing I can guarantee: Most Americans will feel unhappy, unrepresented, and unheard. I’m counting everyone who voted for the losing major-party candidate, everyone who voted third party, and everyone who was too discouraged by the choices put before us to vote at all. Even millions who vote for the winner won’t be thrilled. Polling shows three in four Americans are part of the “exhausted majority,” those who hold dissimilar policy views but also think “our differences aren’t so great that we can’t work together.” Exhausted majority members aren’t raging partisans, and we make up a significant part of the population in every state. We’d all do well to remember that.”
It’s an interesting perspective that shows that, no matter which “side you’re on,” you’re probably going to be feeling a little disappointed at some level – even if your candidate wins. With such an inflammatory media that loves to sow division and paint those who vote differently from us as an “enemy,” this quote is a good reminder that so many of us are tired of all the divisiveness and share a lot more common ground than we think. Most of us aren’t raging partisans in love with our candidate of choice, but rather friends and neighbors who want good things for our country and just are making the best decision we can with the options we have.
So, let’s approach Election Day with integrity, compassion, and grace. I know so many of us are praying for our country and remembering that, ultimately, Jesus is still on the throne no matter the results. Let’s lean into that peace today, knowing we share a hope far greater than anything on a ballot!
