Yes, I stole the last part of my title from Pastor Duane's sermon title
from last Sunday - guilty as charged. With the election over, many of
us may be having conflicted feelings. Well, the country has spoken and
we will have a new president come
January 20, 2009 (we knew that anyway, right??). Whether we like the
choice the American
people have made or not, is now a moot point. The Bible commands us to
submit
to our leaders, and that includes those who we may not agree with. Let
us all pray that President Elect Obama will govern with fair-minded
principles and according to God's will. Let us pray that he has left
behind his socialistic views and radical associations on the campaign
trail. Let us pray that he will appoint Supreme Court justices who
will
interpret the Constitution as it was written, and not legislate from
the bench. And finally, when all else fails, let us pray that God would
have mercy on this
great country.
I urge you, my brothers, to pray for our new president and also pray
for us to accept what is. Maybe this is the wake-up call that this
nation needs, or perhaps this is God's judgment - only time will tell.
But one thing is sure - GOD IS IN CONTROL!
