kneeling

You ask me what I think of the war

You ask me what I think it was for

You ask me what I think of our policies

My position-my only position is

Kneeling-my position is

Kneeling-my position is kneeling

You ask me what I think of the Right

You ask me what I think of what's Left

You ask me what I think of your certainties

My position-my only position is

Kneeling- my position is

Kneeling-my position is kneeling

You say I must stand up-for what I believe

But when I stand up-well I'm down on my knees

I'm kneeling-my position is

Kneeling-my position is kneeling

In light of the events happening a week from today when there will be a new President elected it obviously calls to question many issues and opinions.  Being in the Nation's Capital during this time is very interesting because so many people's lives revolve around which candidate in fact wins.  The dynamic has proven to be very diverse.  Many people will talk to you as if they already know how you're voting for...and I'm thinking to myself how do you know when I'm having a hard time deciding.  I have to admit that during the prelims I was feeling strongly one way and I continued to allow my own personal feelings and desires rule my thought process. I looked at the facts, but I was mostly moved by the sway of the people and getting caught up in the atmosphere that is around me.  Over the last week I realized that I never took it to the Lord in prayer and committed it to Him.  Oswald Sanders says in his book on Spiritiual Leadership: "we all know it's indispensable, we know the Scriptures call for it, yet we often fail to pray" I was brought back to this song by Ceili Rain called "Kneeling" and was struck by the idea once again...that our position should be kneeling.  Of course I have opinions about things, but God KNOWS the outcome of November 4th already so why not consult Him in our uncertainties, fears and doubts as we decide who to vote for in a week?  It's interesting because after I started intentionally praying about this my heart changed and my vote will now be different than it would have been.  I'm continuing to pray for this election and the Nation in such an important and scary time in history!  May HIS will be done as we KNEEL and recognize His provision over it all!
