When I was a very young boy I heard an old preacher use an expression that I have relied upon since that day. "Don't worry - I've read the back of the Book. We win!"
My prayer for the election was for God to send us a Godly man for President. I really don't believe that God answered that prayer in the way that I thought that He should. But isn't that just like God? He always hears and answers our prayers. He just doesn't always respond the way that we want Him to. Maybe God is telling us that we should not depend so much upon a Godly government as we should depend upon us being Godly people. Maybe we should not depend so much upon any man as we should depend upon Him. Maybe God is leading us to be a "people driven society" instead of a "government driven society." After all, that is the way that this great country began - by the people, for the people.
I once heard someone say that if you wanted a better preacher, then pray for the one that you have.
Maybe we should consider that - if we want a better president, then we should pray for the one that we have. If we want a better country, then pray for one another.
Praying for America and our all of our leaders.
