Jacob had an unforgettable dream (read about in Genesis 28).
Genesis 28:18 (NIV)
Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
Interesting, God, how Jacob made a pillar out of a pillow. He met you, and it changed everything. The ordinary became an altar. Meet me, Lord, and change me. Turn ordinary me into an altar of praise. 
Once upon a time, there was a battle. The victory came through God’s intervention, not military might.
1 Samuel 7:12 (ERV)
After this Samuel set up a special stone to help people remember what God did. Samuel put the stone between Mizpah and Shen and named the stone “Stone of Help.” Samuel said, “The Lord helped us all the way to this place.”
What’s your Stone of Help? An unexpected check, an appliance working well past its end date, a mysterious bag of groceries on your doorstep? Don’t forget to give God the credit.
What did you do to honor Armistice Day?
God knows how easily we forget. That’s why Scripture includes repeated messages, specific holy days and memorial stones. God knows, we forget.
Armistice: arma (weapons) sistere (come to a stop).
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. An armistice was signed, ending the “Great War,” the “war to end all war.”
Only it didn’t. There have been more wars.
Matthew 24:6 (NIV)
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Armageddon (Revelation 16) will be the war that ends all war. When the Prince of Peace comes to establish his kingdom, weapons will come to a stop.
Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
Campaign commercials. Reporters with questions. Chanting protesters. Endless news stories. Round-the-clock coverage.
Elections come wrapped in too many words. We’re sick and tired of all those words.
People who struggle to read are sick and tired of too many words. For their sakes, keep it simple.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 (MSG)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well …
Note: It doesn’t say to pray only for the winning candidates you like. It doesn’t say to pray that something bad happens to the winning candidates you don’t like. It says to pray that they “rule well.”
Transform my voting booth into a prayer closet, Lord–one where I whole-heartedly say, “Your will, not mine, be done.”
How do you vote?
In private. Or not.
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses.
Heavenly eyes are on your earthly vote. 
Psalm 122:6 (NIRV)
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Say,
“May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace inside your walls.
May your people be kept safe.”
Amen.
