Psalm 128:1-2 says this:
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. 2 For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.
I wanted to share this especially for everyone who is being pressured, chastised, ridiculed, bullied and threatened concerning the upcoming presidential elections and who YOU are choosing to vote for! Remember, always, that we have are only strangers and sojourners here on earth while we stand as Ambassadors for Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). Our citizenship is in Heaven and NOT on the earth (Philippians 3:20). Whatever nation the Lord has placed you in or called you to, HE is your ultimate master and HE will instruct you, personally, how to go about your business. The verses above promise us that we will be so abundantly blessed by fearing, revering and worshiping the Lord that others will envy us! We WILL succeed in life and it WILL be well with us for simply obeying God as HE leads, guides and directs us. AMEN! 2 Corinthians 1:12 is a joyful goal for us!
12 It is a reason for pride and exultation to which our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [generally] and especially toward you, with devout and pure motives and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God (the unmerited favor and merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, and keeps, strengthens, and increases them in Christian virtues).
Refuse to be pressured by "fleshly" arguments, but allow Holy Spirit to guide you! When HE gives you Wisdom, it is NOT necessary to explain yourself to anyone unless He leads you to! Remember, your vote is YOUR voice as a born again, Spirit-filled believer and a representative of Jesus Himself! Be led, then be obedient and be at peace! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
