Make Your "Election" Sure!

2 Peter 1:10
King James Version (KJV)
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

We have just had one of the most historical elections since the beginning of this country. Two minorities fought it out for their parties vote, then a man, with limited political knowledge and a mixed ethnicity took the White House. Proves that anyone can make it in this country if you put your mind to it. We need to pray for America, and pray for our new leader and his team.

The focus in 2 Peter however is on us. We need to be dilligent to make our "election" sure. What this means is that when we have decided to follow Christ, we have to "vote" or choose to serve Him and follow His teaching on a daily basis. We have to examine our motives, thoughts, actions, etc. One time is not enough! How many of you know that your wedding day was an event....but your vows are a life style and life commitment. Salvation is the same. We ask Christ in to our lives, but then we live with that decision by taking action to keep us on the right track.

Our election this week has lasting consequences and America will reap the harvest or fruit of that decision. So too with our spiritual lives, as we chose daily to make our lives pleasing to God, He will make sure that there will be no hanging chads on the day of judgement in our life. Shalom. Jory
