Election 2008

After last nights primary's in Puerto Rico, it is becoming increasingly clear that Barack  Obama will face John Mccain in the general election.  Though Hillary Clinton continues to pile up victories as of late, it makes little difference.  Because of the way that delegates are apportioned in the Democratic primaries, Obama continues to edge close to his magic delegate number, solidifying his nomination.  I very strongly believe that this election will be a turning point for our country.  Though I have cautions for both candidates, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that Sen. Obama could indeed be a dangerous choice.  From abortion rights to socialism, it is apparent that a President Obama could bring devastation to our country.  However, I cannot fall into the trap of forgetting who is over all of this.  God.  It might very well be the Lord's will for Sen. Obama to win the election and that must be something that I am at peace about.  Though I pray earnestly for the victory of John Mccain, I trust that God will be faithful and never forsake his people regardless of the political state of this nation.

This reminds me of Psalm 46. Though the nations rage, the kingdoms rise and fall, the Lord of Hosts will be exalted among the nations and in the earth. This was a great reminder to "be still and know" that He is God. I, too, am tempted to fear when I think about the next president of the U.S.
