Ok, so the election’s over right?? HA! Congratulations Barak Obama, our President-Elect. Good luck. May God’s guidance and hand be upon you from this moment on. You’ll need it. May your road and your path be just as difficult as every one of your predisessors. The whole world is watching. Be prepared.
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t feel united as a country. We’re pretty evenly split. John McCain took 48% and Obama took 52%. That’s a 4% different. Just above the margin of error. I am pretty critical and cynical of President-Elect Obama when he says things like how under his leadership we will be united as a country. I doubt that. The democrats might be united now, post Hilary-Obama feuding. But our country is more divided that ever. It’ll be an interesting 4-8 years on what policies he does follow through on, and what havoc is wreaked upon our contry and our world. I think the number one thing that bugs me the most about America’s obsession with Barak Obama is the fact that he has a celebrity-rockstar status. His campaign was almost 100% emotional and very little about the real issues. I highly doubt his capability as a leader. But nonetheless, I will support him. He is my President. That is my duty as an American. I am proud that we elected an African American. That’s pretty darn cool. But I think that we need to get past the race card and the campaign and move into the real issues and the battle for freedom that’s ahead.
However, I have no doubt that God’s will be done. For some reason, God wanted Barak Obama to win. That was pretty evident that He would win weeks ago. My question now is: what does this mean for us as a country? What is God trying to tell us?
My challenge is that we remember why we’re here. as a friend of mine said on his blog yesterday, “we’re here to be Jesus’ hands and feet.” So TRUE! We should be Jesus with skin on in a world where clothes are only a comodity. We should be the change and not just vote for it, because it’s something and someone different. We need to be active. Hebrews says that faith is living and active. let’s remember that in our actions to the world!! Let your faith and your values live through your life!!
It is my prayer that our Lord would continue to heal our country, guide us, protect us and reveal Himself to us. We need you now more than ever Lord. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.
