President Obama was elected for a 2nd term, everything else is meaningless. We are commanded to pray for all in authority, Congress, the Judiciary and the Executive, in this case Mr. Obama and his family. Praying for state and local officials and for police officers is also on the table too.

Proverbs 21:1 states; “The kings heart (or a president) is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

Although Obama is the most destructive President in our history we need to (and have) prayed for God to protect him and his family; for widsom; that he would recognize he needs more than human leadership. Also, that the LORD would bring wise (and godly) counselors his way. Pray that he would turn to the One True God (See also Romans 13:1-7, 1 Timothy 2:1-6).

When you struggle doing this, read the record of Christ’s trial, especially before that pip-squeek Pilate (John 18:28-40 and 19:1-16).

This doesn’t mean that we capitulate to tyranny, because Romans 13 makes it clear government was created by God and all leaders have to do it His way – that’s why our Forefathers told King George III to take a hike, because they believed, and made the case, that George III put himself above God’s law.

Well did William Penn warn; “Men MUST be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.” Think they knew what they were talking about? I do….

Love you, too!
