We have a new president (and many new senators and congress people) and some of you are happy and some are not. This political season has been more divisive than any time I can remember. Honestly- I am glad it is over and we can move on. We have had politically charged TV, radio and the internet. So now what? Whether your guy made it or your guy lost- the Bible challenges all of us to a common action- PRAY!
I don’t need to lecture you about the challenges President Obama will face- his task seems overwhelming. The Apostle Paul challenged his young partner in ministry, Timothy, to PRAY for all government leaders. Listen in to his challenge:
Several insights from these verses:
- Ask God to help them lead
- Ask God to meet their needs
- Thank God for them
The reason for these prayers are not so our 401k’s will grow (although that wouldn’t make me mad) or so that our home values will increase. Instead, we pray for them so we can bring honor to Jesus Christ and in turn more people will come to faith in Jesus Christ.
it is still about us making Jesus Christ famous!
