Presidential Prayer Team; C.P. – Value His Views

Leave a comment

 

Bill Gates’ ideas transformed the world of communication. Oprah’s opinion is vastly influential. A speech by President Obama gives rise to strong emotions from left to right of the political range. Whose opinion do you value?

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Psalm 139:17

Today’s verse calls God’s thoughts precious and of great worth. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) Jesus said, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24)

Let your prayer echo the psalmist, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14) Seek insight from God’s Word with the enthusiasm of a pirate after buried treasure. Value His views greater than any others. Then pray that the citizens and leaders of this nation will respect His Word and that freedoms concerning the Bible will remain intact.

While many don’t completely understand the Electoral College, all students are taught the election process somewhere around the fourth grade. While the popular vote is counted, the President of the United States is selected indirectly by the people. Still, it is ultimately God who allows an individual to be in any office, whether it be the White House or Congress.

Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness.

I Kings 10:9

Whether you voted for or against President Obama, the Creator of all things permitted him to be there, just as He allowed former President Bush and former President Clinton before him. God placed David on the throne and claimed him “a man after my heart.” (Acts 13:22) When Moses asked for the release of his people, “the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh.” (Exodus 9:12) And in today’s verse, the Queen of Sheba recognized that Solomon was chosen by God.

God will use anyone to achieve His purposes. Give Him glory for that, and praise Him, too, for Christians who hold political offices and have a godly influence on the nation. Finally, ask Him to perform His will through those who were elected into office last week.

In August 2013, many Egyptians were killed in a clash between the Muslim Brotherhood and security forces of the government. Everyone watched to see what side America would take. Other nations recognize the weight of a world power backing it. But President Obama was firm in saying, “We don’t take sides.”

We can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6

People assume if America is on their side, they can’t lose. While that’s not necessarily true with this nation, it is true with the Lord. He can win any battle. With God, Daniel was saved from the mouth of the lion. With God, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were not singed in the fiery furnace. With God, Moses was able to lead the Israelites away from Pharaoh and through the Red Sea on dry ground. “With God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Whatever you are facing today, whoever your enemies may be – do not fear. When the Lord is your helper, He will provide you with the strength to do what needs to be done. Ask God to cast away fear and help you stand strong. Then ask Him to reveal Himself to President Obama and his cabinet so they know God is the only true world power.
