New Potus

It looked like New Year’s Eve. Thousands on the television cheering the outcome of our elections. The overwhelming decision of the people to elect Barack Hussein Obama as our 44th POTUS, (President of the United States).

What does the future hold? I know that my theology tells me that to love God and to Love people is our highest commandment. I also know that we are told to pray for our leaders, installed by God for good not evil.

Lastly I know this. Nothing is gonna get better before it gets worse. Everything hinges not on POTUS, not even on America, but on our Savior Jesus Christ. His imminent return, His Kingdom restored and eternity in heaven with Him, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit.

Pray for our new POTUS. Pray for all the elected officials everywhere.

1 Timothy 2:1, 2 – 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.

Romans 13:1-7 says: Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
