Time for Faith & Confidence

Many of us went to bed last night realizing that our nation is moving in a new direction under President-Elect Obama. Some my agree with this decision and some may disagree with the decision of the voters. But all of us can agree that this is a time to release our faith and confidence in God. During prayer time this morning I was reminded that God is Sovereign; God still reigns in our individual lives as well as in this nation. We are living in the "last days" and these are the times in which our faith is being challenged. But this is not the time to throw in the towel of surrender but this is a time of intercession and crying out to God for a great spiritual awakening in America. We are taught in the Bible to pray for our leaders; I feel impressed to ask those of you who have been praying for the direction of the election to now pray with that same intensity for the soul of America. After all, our hope is not in man but our hope and trust is in God. God reigns in power, authority, grace and mercy. O God, stir my heart to change and revival. Let my soul be awakened to a deeper relationship with you. Stoke the fire of soul winning, evangelism, and outreach to our communities so that we can be salt and light in the world in which we are living. You have have placed us here to make a difference. AMEN!
