BARACK OBAMA

Seems even-tempered...certainly not the temperament of a radical. Seems sophisticated...understanding global nuances. Seems accomplished...a Harvard lawyer and United States Senator.  Seems to call for change...at just a glance he embodies change.  So what's all this about obamanation?  

Breathe in.  Get a whiff of The Wizard of Oz.  Remember how the front didn't match what was behind the curtain?

See with pragmatic eyes.  "Change" will come out of Chicago's corruption? See with spiritual eyes.  He found Christ where?  He took his little girls where?  See with eyes researching the records.  Senator Obama was unbridled in his votes for all abortions, even the worst type.  No one dared go that far left...no one but Barack Obama.

Now in our country we have reached for a man because he is black and because he offers hope. Those in the womb might argue about the hope part.  We have logged in a racial vote...to show we are not racist.  We have asked for a man whose "pro-choice" vote is an abomination to our Maker.

When theocratic Israel demanded a king, God gave them what they wanted.  Ah, the heady empowerment of free will.  Now we have asked for and received our choice.  But perhaps you are saying..."but I didn't vote for him!"  Either way, we are in this together.

At Christmas, no one wants doom and gloom.  But this is no ordinary year and we need to be on our knees praying for this man from a very bumpy upbringing who has landed at the top with quite a lapful.  If Scripture is right, the king's heart is in Jehovah's hands.  And like water, Jehovah God can turn it wherever He wants.  We need to be begging the Lord to change the heart of this man...to give favor to whatever godly voice might be available to our President-elect's ear...and to have mercy on our country.

"if My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land."  2 Chronicles 7:14
