The Day After


     It is the day after election day for The United States of America .  Regardless if your candidate won or not, our President Barack Obama has been re-elected for a second term with the electoral vote tally of 303 to 203.  In that since it wasn't close but our nation still is so divided among party lines and the popular vote was won by a very slim margin in favor of the President.
    What does the election mean to us?  How do we move forward?
      I believe the biggest problem In America is not healthcare.  It is not education and it is not immigration reform.  The biggest problem in America is racism.  Racism is a sickness and has been like a deadly virus in our nation.  I believe God has seen our sickness and is giving America a lesson by allowing our President to be re-elected.
     Over the past 4 years, I have never witnessed more disrespect for the Office of President.  Never before in our nations history, has there been so much hatred for a President by those who oppose him..  I have never witnessed a political party try so hard to derail, hinder,  and delay everything that our President tried to accomplish. The opposition to the President has been malicious and evil spirited. My fellow Christians, God is not pleased with that. 
     Both political parties have issues and will  continue to have issues.  The truth of the matter, our hope and our source should never be put in man.  Our hope and trust should be in God the Father but as Christians we should be praying for our leadership and praying for our nation.

1Timothy 2:1-2
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
Philippians 4:19
19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

     The day after the election what should we be doing?  We should be praying for Our President.  We should be binding the spirit of racism in our nation.  We should be praying for a government that works for the people and not personal greed.  We should be praying for bipartisan support. We should be praying for our families and friends to make it through these tough world economic times.  We should pray all the time.  Prayer is how we get God involved in our affairs on earth and that's why  I believe Barack Obama was re-elected.  
     Let's do our part.  Yes, we voted.  Yes, we came out in huge numbers.  Now,  let’s pray and take responsibility for our actions and help Our President move this nation forward.
