Well, There You Have It

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America.

But as Holly from Seeking Faithfulness said: you won't find any sour grapes here.

Now, I know I made my opinion loud and clear. I made some potentially shocking statements about our now-president. And I still hold to them.

But I also hold to my statements about putting my trust in God, not man.

I'll admit that when I heard the announcement last night, I was disappointed. I was at a restaurant, and I've never seen so many tears and glowing faces outside of weddings or births. People gathered on street corners and shouted and cheered. And I couldn't join in with them.

But then I heard Obama's acceptance speech. And while he wasn't my pick, what he said is still true: "I may not have won your vote tonight. But...I will be your president too. "

And then God spoke to me, in that quiet way that He often does, and said, "He's right. You may not like him, but you owe him your allegiance."

So now I know what I must do. I must ask God to soften my heart towards this man. I must pray for him, and for everybody else in the government. And I must continue to trust in God, whose salvation lasts forever, and whose righteousness never fails. (Is.51:6).

And if anyone is worried that this might become a political blog, be at peace. Yesterday's post was a first, and today's is hopefully the last. Look for the everyday from here on out.
