रेमेम्बेर Rehoboam

Look at what has just taken place. America of all places has accepted an African American democratic nominee for the presidency. What does this really mean? Does this mean that America is ready for a Black president. Does this mean that racism has been eliminated? The answer to the latter is certainly not. Of course racism, class ism and sexism still exists in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I wonder how many have already determined that they will not vote for Mr. Obama just because he is black. Sadly there are many Americans that will vote republican just to keep a black man out of the white house. At the same time God is ultimately in control of life situations. He is really the one that sets up one and puts down another. Sometimes God allows wicked kings to rule and uses them to judge a nation who is anti-God and sometimes He sends righteous kings as an answer to the prayers of His people. Sen. Obama is on the way to the white house. So what does this mean? Time will reveal the will of God. Jeremiah Wright is a modern prophet to the nation. Regardless of his style or personality, he's got a word from the Lord. I pray that President Obama will heed to the prophets that God will send to him and rule with wisdom and love and lighten the burden of the people. Remember King Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12.
