Obama vs The World

Hello world!

We have been a part of history like nothing before. Or perhaps like nothing WE have personally experienced. There have been lots of earth shattering changes since Adam and Eve. Depending upon your education in religion or beliefs all through time changes have come and gone, have been accepted or rejected, and it will continue to be like that until the day we die.

That being said I am looking forward to the future of America and what roads we take to get where God is leading us for I believe that Obama may be the instrument He (God) is going to use. All through the ages God has used some very interesting people to lead, some very unlikely people indeed. And just as He chose thousands of years ago he still chooses today. I am going to pray for those in authority over us because that is what God calls us to do. Open your heart and see the good that will come to us all if we uphold our leaders in prayer. What will destroy our leaders is the descension people have because they are blind to truth, hope, faith, and the grace of God.

Currently I am in a bible study and we are studying the book of Romans. There is some good meat in this book and if you have a bible read it until it calls to your soul. Meditate on the letter that Paul writes to the people in Rome in that day. It will send chills up and down your spine because he could be writing it to our present day people. God keeps his promises. Always. If you don't understand what you are reading then pray to God to open your mind and heart to hear the word. He is writing to different groups of people: zealous jews, proud greeks, boastful romans, and ordinary common sinners. Paul was able to cross lines of descension among these groups because of his extraordinary background. ( If you remember your bible stories Paul had a conversion on the road to Damascus. That story marked the beginning of his faith in Jesus. He never met Jesus. He was not a disciple who lived with Jesus day after day.)

I hope you will be inspired to read Romans. It's not about "When in Rome do as the Romans do."
It's about aligning us with each other and with God. It's death of self-centeredness. It's about God's bigger plan for the Jew and the Gentile. Take His word ~ One day at a time!
