Our Leaders

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.  ~ Abraham Lincoln

Another US presidential election is upon us.  There is a lot of division in our nation and each side says their candidate is our savior and the other will destroy us all.  Christians should never place their trust in people. 

In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln poetically described the terrible war and how each side was certain they were right.  He said, "Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other.  It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged.  The prayers of both could not be answered--that of neither has been answered fully.  The Almighty has his own purposes."

Brothers and sisters in Christ, I ask you to pray to our Heavenly Father and seek His will for the one in whom we should vote.  His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  He will see that His purposes will be done. 

We must also pray for our leaders and ask God to raise up Godly people to lead in this country and other countries.  

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.  

Romans 13:1
