Day 123 - Time to move on

I have had time to reflect on the Presidental election results and am now ready to speak my piece and then move on.

I am a conservative, Christian and voted for the Romney/Ryan ticket.  I was not excited to make my selection this year due to not whole heartedly supporting either republican or democratic candidates.  However I could not vote for a candidate who has done nothing to "change" our financial situation but has instead made the debt higher.  I also hold Christian beliefs, on two key issues which oppose abortion and same sex marriages.  I also value my Christian faith and am concerned about candidates which do not recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God, His diety, and ackowledge Him before men.  Christ's death and resurrection is what assures believers of eternal life and we must accept the shed blood of Christ to be in relationship with the Godhead.

Having said all of this I am saddened more Americans do not hold to basic Biblical values.  Our Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to give our nation a great foundation.  Now our nation is very far from this foundation.  We have drifted away from who we were designed to be and this is extremely sad.  I have a G5 grandfather who fought in the Amerian Revolution to gaind freedom from Bristish rule.  I wonder how other nations see us now.  Have we altered our standing in the global community?

But my thoughts on how to react to having re-elected an administration so far from biblical values are to rely on God to ultimately rule.  The universe is His and He is the final verdict on everything.  The Bible tells us to pray for those in authority.  We are to pray for our Kings, Queens, Presidents, all elected leaders, etc.  It is not suggested it is required.

Lord, I want to submit to your headship in my life.  I know you are not surprised at things occuring in this world.  I lean on You for Your wisdom and guidance.  I ask for wisdom for all our leaders.  I also pray that the enemy and his tactics be thwarted.  Do what only You can do and thank you for Your protection and provision.  Amen

I stood at the top of this mountain and looked downt he path which descended in front of me.  I'm ready to move on and watch for the next 'broken' blessing of healing God has in store for me.  I started moving along the path, greatful for the down hill portion.  I am eager for the days to come.
