Tonight is a historic day because of the election and many of you have been posting negative comments based upon a dislike of Obama or of McCain. There have been comments between friends I'm sure because of the differences in belief based upon these two candidates. Some have called Obama the Anti-Christ just as some did when George Bush Jr. first ran in 2000. If you truly believe this, then you knew he would win.
My favorite comment tonight was made by one of you as you stated that this country can come down faster than it has grown if we as a nation do not support our leaders no matter who they are after the election is over. There has been a lot said about the future of this country and what would happen if and when Obama was elected. I have only the following to say to everyone.
The future of America and this world is not bleak because of Barack Obama, greenhouse gases, global warming or even nuclear weapons. The future of this world is bleak because of sin and a fallen man called Adam and the prophecies foretold in the scripture. If Barack plays a part, it is only because he fits in ... God's plan just like Judas betrayal of Christ. But, we have faith and hope in knowing that in the end, WE (God's children) WIN! Not Republican or Democrat, not black or white. But, those who are called of God and hold close those things in His word and the promise of His deliverance and when we shall inherit a new earth.
This is the time for your renewal with your God. He needs you more today than ever before to spread the Good News that there is hope and peace in knowing that Jesus Christ has paved the way for you by laying down His own life so that you may have life and have it more abundantly.
I pray for each of you because I have some ideas of what being a young person in high school or college may be like right now since I have one in each. Be true to yourself and hold strong to your faith and commit the following scriptures to memory. Those of you that are older, now is the time for us to support our young people as they are the ones that will be taking over where we leave off if Jesus tarries. Don't be afraid to tell them now and then how much you love them and appreciate the life they live as a witness for Him.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? Romans 8:31
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
God Bless You All!!
