THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 1.20.09

OVER US
ROMANS 13.1
Let every soul be subject to the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Today we will have a new President - Obama will take office this day - in response to this what is our job? I don't often venture far into politics but today I feel that I have to take that step to explain some things - the Word says that we are required as good witness of God to obey those whom He has put into authority over us - if we cannot submit to earthly authorities set up by God how can be submit to God? God has allowed Obama to be President this time in all of history - many say this is History making - the fact that Obama is a black man makes many stand up and shout - finally! But the truth of the matter it is God that put him over us - It is God that ordained it - for whatever reason - God has allowed this - we cannot sit around questioning why God allowed Obama to reach the highest office of our nation - but we are called upon to submit - even though we may not agree with his policies or what he may believe -we are called to submit - like it or not - we are to represent Christ in all we do -
We must step aside and allow God to do what HE knows is best - and just submit all the way - now this does not mean we have to agree with anything Obama does or says - but it does mean we must submit - in this life we will never ever get away from submitting to someone - its a fact of life -something we all must deal with - With all that said- I congratulate President Obama - I praise God for this new day - lets join together in lifting up the leader of the free world - and remember that God has allowed this for His glory for His plan - this is another reminder that its not about us at all - its all about God and His glory! Lets support Obama when and were we can - the bottom line is obedience to God at all times - He knows best -
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

BUILDING MOMENT: We must live lives of obediance if we want GOD to bless our lives - it all starts with us - lets submit to whom God says to submit! We will grow in our faith as we do this!
Because we have CHRIST - we can submit to those in authority!

1.20.09 - Building on the WORD
WELCOME NEW PRESIDENT OBAMA -
pray for this man - that he would know God!
