For the past couple months I've been hearing different things about our president from different people.I've heard and read things like,"Obama hater,“Obama must go away,”oh yeah and, “I hope Obama and Oprah like to spend time together, because they will be in Hell together for eternity.”(And others)
Seriously?Let me just clarify that these are Christian people who are saying these things!What part of that screams "I'm a Christian!"?
We are told to pray for our leaders, to lift them up to God. How exactly do you lift someone up that you say you “hate” or that you hope to condemn to Hell for eternity?
Aren't we suppose to hate the sin but love and pray for the sinner?
Yes I too have concern about our country and the direction of it...No,I wouldn't have chosen our president to be Obama but that's why I didn't choose,Nor did anyone else...God did.
God had everything planned.He knew who the candidates were going to be...even before they knew they were going to run,He knew who people would favor and who would get the most votes.So why can't we just have Faith that He will take care of everything else?
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."Hebrews 11:6
Should we take whatever our leaders say and follow like sheep? No. However, we should pray for them, pray for their spiritual life, pray for their ability to seek the will of God in the decisions that they must make.
