The Vote is Cast Into the Ballot Box…

Today, U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker has disregarded my “Yes” vote on Prop 8, along with all the other “Yes” votes given by a majority of the people in California. We’re encouraged by intellectuals and politicians to make a difference by letting the government hear our voices through emails, phone calls, protests, votes, and many other methods. I’ve participated in government through most of the choices, and a few others.

On days like today, I wonder if participation, especially voting,  makes much of a difference. I suppose it means something that history will show (perhaps) that Californians voted “Yes” on Prop 8 and that it was a judge who defied the will of the people and claimed that our country’s founding documents say its okay.

It certainly seems that my vote did not matter practically. But I know that God saw my vote and I think it mattered to Him. I think it also matters to Him that I remember now that He sets up and takes down rulers and authorities and gives power to whom He chooses for His own perfect purposes. I don’t need to understand His ways to trust in them. “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.” ~Proverbs 16:33
