A new day for America!

As I sat and pondered the sights and sounds the media was broadcasting from Washington, D.C I couldn't help but think about the many hours that were spent praying for the election.

People gathered in their churches, it was printed on many bulletins and prayer chains were formed. We prayed for the vote and we prayed for hope. And now that President-Elect Obama is about to become our Commander in Chief, what do we do?

We do what we should have been doing before things got bad... we pray. There should never be a day when we as Christians fail to bow our head and pray for our nation. The person in the White House should not determine the amount or the energy placed in our prayers. He is a man just like I am a man who is in constant need of a Heavenly Father to guide and direct in all areas of his calling.

Don't fret because of his skin color or questions concerning his leadership abilities and personal agenda. But also don't get to carried away in putting all of your trust in our new President. I understand the excitement of those who travelled a great distance to be a part of this historical event. But we must realize that God is still in control of all things and we should be looking to HIM for a great awakening not a human being who was put into a position by a majority vote of other human beings.

Prayer: "God, no matter who is in the White House we recognize you as the One in charge. We put all of our trust in you."
