First & foremost, do you believe that God still reigns & is in control? If your answer is yes, then do you believe that everything that happens God allows? If your answer is yes, then God knew that Obama was going to be re-elected before the foundations of the world! Throughout the Bible, there are numerous passage that talk about the fact that God is in control of judges, rulers, etc. It is an indisputable fact that God is still in control & that it was His Will to allow Obama to be re-elected. To believe otherwise, would be to believe that God is weak & not in control of everything!
Second, I believe the reason that Obama was re-elected is due to the many people that have rejected God & anything to do with God. Christian, the Great Commission has not changed, prayer has not changed & God still reigns! I am sure you have asked yourself this question: "What are we to do with Obama back in office? Our country is doomed!" Yes, our country is doomed, BECAUSE IT HAS REJECTED GOD! The reason that Obama was re-elected is because America has rejected God & His principle! Is there still hope for America? THERE IS CERTAINLY HOPE & MERCY FOR AMERICA!
The first thing that we must do as Christians is continue to witness & tell others about Christ. The more people that are converted to Christ & truly saved will vote differently in the next election (if the Lord tarries)! The second thing we must do is PRAY, PRAY & PRAY SO MORE! Not just a quick prayer in morning to check off your list of things to do, but fervent, persistent prayer for God's mercy & power! And the third thing we must do is to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Fight against ungodliness, wickedness, laws that undermine God's Word, false doctrine! There are many, many verses in the Bible that talk about fighting against false doctrine & wickedness!
Below, I have posted an article from Mike Huckabee, who was the one of the presidential candidates for the 2008 Presidential Election. While I do not agree with everything that Mike Huckabee supports & believes, I believe that he "hit it on the nail" concerning the election in his "Statement on the Election".
"There is a lot to be disappointed by in the election results this evening and I am disappointed, but not despondent. Tonight's results only remind me that our country has slipped into a deeper state of dependence on government than I wanted to believe. Where the Goliath of government has grown so too has our dependency.
It's also increasingly apparent to me that our real problems are not political, but spiritual. Both parties have failed to acknowledge that. Democrats have not wanted to even acknowledge the need for God in our public institutions, but sadly, many of the Republican leadership will acknowledge God, but not because they believe we should be humble before Him, but to use God in our speeches and platforms. We wear our love of Israel like a badge of courage but on the issues of life and marriage too many of our leaders are more like lambs than Lions of Judah.
Well now maybe our Republican Party will look at itself in the mirror. I feel that we shouldn't pack up and quit, but gear up and get ready for the next battle. That's what we do as people of faith and a party of principle. We don't stop believing what we believe. We do a better job of doing what we're supposed to do. That’s how you attract voters and win elections. And that is how you save America from herself. "

One more thing I would like to post concerning the Elections is the lyrics to a song from a patriot cantata by Bible Truth Music-"This is My America". The song is entitled, "Turn the Tide". The lyrics are perfect for these thoughts concerning elections.
When America was founded she was strong & pure & good,
and her leaders on their knees were not ashamed to call on God;
but our nation in her pride has turned her back upon the right,
and the clouds of evil threaten to turn glory into night.
Strong wickedness has crept in, like a cold & bloodly thief,
those who know the Lord and do His will stand by in disbelief.
For the love of God and country, we must not cease for a day,
for the future of our children, we must life our hearts and pray.
Turn the tide, Lord, turn the tide! Open wide the flood gates of Your Power,
Stem the flood of wickedness; restore, revive & bless, turn the tide!
God's enemy is hard at work, undermining everywhere,
breaking down foundations, twisting laws & setting snares.
He would take away our freedom, and replace it with despair,
and he laughs at those opposing him as if they were not there.
God's children cannot sit by, we must stand up and defend,
for the battle is not over 'til our King declares the end.
We must work & fight & meet him, not as those who beat the air,
for the greatest weapon in our hands in strong & fervent prayer.
Turn the tide, Lord, turn the tide! Open wide the flood gates of Your Power,
Stem the flood of wickedness; restore, revive & bless, turn the tide!
Though the waves of immorality may beat upon the shore,
and it seems that all ungodliness is knocking at your door,
We must never give up hope, we must not let them win the war.
We must plead with Him who has the power to cleanse & restore.
Turn the tide, Lord, turn the tide! Open wide the flood gates of Your Power,
Stem the flood of wickedness; restore, revive & bless, turn the tide!
Christian, there is a work to do! "Let us not become weary in well doing..." We must fight, pray & witness until the Lord returns! To the work, to the work!

A little update on our family! We are doing very good! Nehemiah is growing very, very quickly and showing his sinful personality! (We have our work cut out--that's for sure!) But we are so thankful to the Lord for Him! This next week, our church is having its 33rd Anniversary & annual Missions Conference! So please pray for the Lord blessing & conviction!
