Inauguration Day

Well, today is a big day in US history. Today is the day that Barak Obama is welcomed into the White House. Unfortunately, I am unable to watch the event, but I am listening to this online trying to picture what it is like and what is going on.

Pastor Rick Warren is now praying at the inauguration and what a prayer it is; what an amazing way to start out a presidency. His prayer is a reminder that we live in a free country in which an African American can become President of the United States and that is something we need to be thankful for...living in a free country. He also prayed that Obama would have wisdom and courage from God during his presidency.

While Barak Obama may not have been my pick for President of the United States, I know that I have to pray for him, his family and those that work for and with him. Pray that God protects them; pray that they are given God-given wisdom to lead this country.

As Christ followers we have to trust that God will take care of us and protect us no matter who is in power. God knew who was going to win this election and we have to know that and cling to that. Pray for the new President and that God will be with him in any decision he has to make.
