First of all, I saw it coming. I had no grandiose ideas that Mccain was going to pull this off, and anyone who knows me knows I was never a Mccain supporter anyway. Granted, Obama has a laundry list of solid reasons to be tearing your hair out at the prospect of him being president of the United States, but there is just one minor detail, I happen to be a Christian woman.
No Christian across this nation should be disappointed with the result of this election because the fact of the matter is, Obama is Gods choice. The Bible says that all the powers that be are ordained by God. Romans 13:1
Now, for those of you out there unversed in the ways of God, this is not a glowing endorsement of the mans character. If God ordains all leaders, then throughout history He has chosen many down right evil men. He has his reasons. I have grown in my relationship with Him enough to not need an explanation but I know there are many people who like to throw out the “If there’s a God why does He let ____ happen” question so I’ll give my small amount of insight on the situation.
At this point, the people reading who are so sure that this life is all you’ve got, are going to have to imagine there is more. For just a moment imagine that an eternity does exist, and that the Bible is true. Every person that ever lived still exists today in one of two places and will continue to forever. Now answer this, what would be more important, your contentment during the minuscule amount of time you have on this earth, or where you will be for an eternity?
Sure some people praise God when they're comfortable and are what they perceive as blessed, but more often they call upon God only when they have nothing else to lean on. I have spent years frustrated at the spiritual state of the people of this nation. The greatest obstacle I face when trying to share the saving grace of Christ with a fellow American is pride. We, the civilized and educated, have watched in wonder as the mysteries of creation; the vastness of the universe, the delicate balance sustaining life on this planet, down to the amazing complexity of a cell have been realized, but have lifted ourselves up for discovering it and ignored, sometimes even blasphemed, the one who created it. Then I watch films and listen to testimonies of missionaries who have come back from “savage” and “uneducated” lands. I see people with seemingly no earthly blessings praising their creator with a humble adoration rare here and I wonder, Just who are the blessed ones?
Logically, this country’s economy cannot survive the policies Obama has said he will put in place. Even so, God has decided that he is just what America needs. All I can say is, amen.
