Coffee with Carole

Who do we vote for?

Listen Later

Today is a day when many counties, cities, & towns vote for council members, mayors and other leaders.  Who do we vote for as one who seeks a life by God's design?  

Is the leader power hungry or propelled by God's power?  

  • Do they seek to have all the information and get angry if they don't?
  • Do they only hire or keep those who agree with them?
  • Do they mostly spend time with those who can help them achieve greater success?
  • Do they seek out the weaknesses of others or tear down those who disagree with them?
  • Do they try to defame the character of their competition?
  • Do they continually boast of their accomplishments?
  • Do they look for ways to increase their influence by any means necessary?
  • Do they use their title and status more than their name?
  • Do they care more about what the crowd of strangers thinks of them vs. their own family?
  • Do they spend more time building connections with the public vs. strengthening their own personal relationships?

    • What if you are faced with a crisis of neither is the "best" choice?

    Look for courage, conviction and patience.  Seek someone who is more interested in understanding vs being understood and who questions before suggesting!  

    Get God's opinion.  Isaiah 30:21 (ESV) says, "Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying 'this is the way, walk in it.'"
