Inauguration Day. What a special day in the life of our country. I hope that none of us take for granted how blessed we are to live in America. Yes, I know there are problems. People are out of work, economy is bad, we have corrupt leaders in places, so on and so forth. But God has placed us here. He could have placed us in a lot of other countries, but praise God He didn't. He put us here with a purpose in mind. He has called us to be salt and light and make a difference for His kingdom. Are we doing that or are we just complaining about how bad things are? Are we busy fussing about our past president or our new president or are we praying for them? I heard a lady say the other day that she didn't vote for this new president and she wouldn't support him. How horrible is that. He's our president and God's Word commands that we pray for him and we trust God as He holds our leaders in His hand and He turns their hearts any way He chooses. I think sometimes we limit God and think that our well-being is based on who is in the white house or how the economy is going. Friends, God is limited by nothing and noone. He rules and reigns and He is the only One who can bring true change. Maybe that change needs to begin in our own hearts with our own attitudes. Let's pray for our country and our president and cling to God knowing that He is truly the one in charge. A shout out to former President Bush... thanks for all you did to keep us safe for the past 8 years. You showed leadership even in the toughest of times. And thanks for giving us a First Lady who always appeared to act like a First Lady. This new year may we all pray for President Obama and his family.
