I must admit, when they announced that Obama would be our next president, I got a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. Now, it didn't take me by surprise. However, the reality of the days ahead could be disturbing. I'm not saying that some of his ideas won't promote change, and maybe for the better, but the value system he carries on certain moral issues is what bothers me the most. I know he is pro-choice and believes in gay rights, amongst other things. His true religious beliefs are yet to be tested. So, I am praying (and I know others are too) that God will change his heart and his values, and that we, as Christians, will continue to pray for the betterment of this nation. We must not stop praying now that the election is over. In fact, this may be just the beginning of fervency in prayer.
But, there was a victory in the election---Proposition 8 was passed which means same-sex marriage will be overturned once again in CA. I know much prayer, fasting and campaigning went into this proposal, and God honored that. Again, Christians must stand up and fight for their rights and beliefs. We must no longer stand by the sidelines while our freedoms are being removed or tested. I know we can't stop or reverse all things that we don't like, but at least our voice, and God's voice, must be heard.
