God's Man Won: toward a biblical perspective of the election

America has elected a new leader. And God should be praised. 

Most of you could guess that I am not an avid Obama supporter. In fact, I may not have even voted for him (I'm being neutral). But whatever side of the political coin we land on, we must recognize that God raises nations up, and God causes nations to fall; God ordained President-elect Barack Obama to become America's next president. Scary or not, we have to be thankful that God has placed us in this particular place and time, for his specific purposes. 

So as we pray for our nation, let us be thankful in all things, recognizing that God is active and deliberate in the lives of his people.
