America apparently didn't read my blog before they went out and cast their votes, and Barack Obama is now our President-elect! A good friend sent us an email, and I love it.

for a little insight as to what our attitudes should be. Here are a few of my favrite clips of it in case you dont have time to read a couple paragraphs. .
"We must confront and oppose the Obama administration where conscience demands, but work together where conscience allows."
"There must be absolutely no denial of the legitimacy of President-Elect Obama's election and no failure to accord this new President the respect and honor due to anyone elected to that high office. Failure in this responsibility is disobedience to a clear biblical command."
"Beyond this, we must commit ourselves to pray for this new President, for his wife and family, for his administration, and for the nation. We are commanded to pray for rulers, and this new President faces challenges that are not only daunting but potentially disastrous. May God grant him wisdom."
"We must pray that God would change President-Elect Obama's mind and heart on issues of our crucial concern. May God change his heart and open his eyes to see abortion as the murder of the innocent unborn, to see marriage as an institution to be defended, and to see a host of issues in a new light. We must pray this from this day until the day he leaves office. God is sovereign, after all."
"We must keep ever in mind that it is God who raises up nations and pulls them down, and who judges both nations and rulers. We must not act or think as unbelievers, or as those who do not trust God."
A friend stated just last night that God is in control and has a plan and an end, and if it involves Barack Obama, how could be possibly be angry at that?
God is sovereign, and he rules over all, and he always works things out for the good of people that believe, trust and hope in him!
Let's not forget that Barack Obama is not too hard for God to save.
He is not too wretched, or too sinful, or even too democratic.
He saved you and me didn't he?
Let's be in fervent prayer for our new president!
