Vote!

A reading for Tuesday, November 8, 2016: Jonah 3.

The first step is to act faithfully. To answer the call. To do what is difficult and even scary. Eighty percent of success is just showing up.

Jonah went to Nineveh finally and did what was expected of him. God used that moment to do the impossible. God saved the entire city and reconciled them to peace and righteousness...

Today is election day. The first step is simply to vote, if you have not already. Answer the call to citizenship. Do what is difficult and even scary. Eighty percent of the success of our nation is that you and our neighbors show up.

There is no telling what God can do with the simplest, most traditional, seemingly small and even useless act. Remember Jonah preached just nine words and the most evil city in the ancient world was converted. How much more can God do with us?

Today you have one job... VOTE! The rest will be history.
