So we all now that Barak Obama has won and is now the President-Elect! That is okay! I know who sits on the throne in Heaven and I know who is still in control! I have also read the end of the book (the Bible) and I know who wins! It is our job to be supportive and pray for our President or in this case our President-Elect. The Bible says, “…Honor the King…” in our case President! The Bible also says, “The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord and He turneth it withersoever He will!” Why are we as Christians worried about the outcome of the election? When did our focus get taken off the Lord? Why are the results from last night making Christians fear? President-Elect Obama has no control over God! God is all powerful, all knowing, and I don’t think He quit being that way because President-Elect Obama won the election.
It is times like this that I feel like Peter, I am willing to get out of the boat, but I start to sink because I have taken my focus off the Lord! Why do we think that just because we take our focus off the Lord He takes His focus off of us? If He really did that then He would have been wrong when He said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee…” I don’t think He was giving us false hope! He really meant it and if He meant it then is it not still true to day? We need to keep our focus on the Lord! ”Our circumstances aren’t our problem.” Our problem is trust. We seem to lose all trust in the Lord when we think that things didn’t go as He would have wanted, but i think it is when things don’t go how we want them to. We all the sudden put the blame on God.
I believe that this is going to be a very trying time for all Christians faith! Not a problem caused by President-Elect Obama but a situation caused by un-trusting Christians. My God is bigger then President-Elect Obama and He is still in control and He knows exactly what our country needs! Who are we to question our Maker??
Please pray for our President and our President-Elect! Pray that God will help us show support to our President-Elect! Pray for fellow Christians!
BTW Prop 8 did pass in California and I am very happy about that. We know that this is not the end of this issue, pray that we can continue to be a witness and a testimony in spite of the tolerance that may be pushed upon us!
I love my Lord and Savior and know that He is the one who controls this world!
