The Election is over – So Now What?

.
The election is over. No matter who you voted for, Obama is our new president. Like it or not, we have to accept that and support him. Why you ask? Because we are commanded to. Take a look at Romans 13:1-7.

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. … Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

All authorities are in place because God has permitted them to be there. They deserve our respect, obedience, support, and prayer.

Paul said in Acts 23:5 “Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.”

I am grateful to live in the USA. I am grateful for the freedoms I have. I am grateful that there are people who want to lead this great country. I am grateful that God has blessed this country for so long. I pray that He will bless Obama and that He will lead and guide Him. I pray that this nation will fall on their knees and seek God’s guidance.
