God is Sovereign!

Whether or not Obama is God's choice for our nation or not, I can't say. However, I do know that God is Sovereign! Now, my job as a Christian is to pray for President-elect Obama just as I have been praying for President Bush. I am reminded of a statement by Chuck Colson who said: "The Kingdom of God is not ushered in on Airforce One." The Kingdom of God is realized through God's people praying and living "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10 NRSV). Does that include being involved in the political process? of course. However, the Body of Christ has been given a mandate to love as Christ loved (John 13:34-35). Lord, let it be so!
