A Good Reminder
05Nov08
1 Timothy 2:1-3
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
Michael Hyatt, the president and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, may have said it best as he summed up his feelings on this year’s election. I pledge along with him the following.
- I will pray for Barack Obama and our country.
- I will assume his motives are good, giving him the benefit of the doubt.
- I will not speak ill of him, even if I don’t always agree with him.
- I will cast off the spirit of cynacism and be a positive force for good.
Barack Obama won convincingly last night but we all know that we, as followers of Jesus, don’t put our faith in man or a politician. On that I think we can all agree.
