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.

Thanks for that post aaron. Amidst an unstable time (or however one looks at it) many people seem to be gettin' in a "tizzy" over the election. Yes, there are legitimate concerns, but I think we as Christians should be the most stable-minded and level-headed of all people in troubling situations. I went ahead and provided the URL to Mr. Burggraff's message on my blog. Do you know how to make it a hyperlink? I think I may blog soon.
Your post is concise and strikes its mark.
I would like to read an expanded defense and case from you, however.
I am more than busy this week, Sean. But over Thanksgiving I will put together a more complete offering (I will upload the document for any and all to download).
The election is a subject I feel very passionate about because I think out perspective on world leaders is imperative.
