Hail to the Chief...

Well, it's official... Barack is my new President. He wasn't my first choice, as previously blogged (or for that matter, my second choice), but he is my president. As such, I am committing to pray for wisdom for my president elect.

I'm a pretty positive thinking guy to begin with so it's not hard for me to see this as a glass half full kind of thing. However, we'll see how he does.

I've been reminded of the Lord's ultimate soveriegnty in all this and I'm suddenly cool with the results. Because good or bad the Lord has ordained Barack to be the next president of the United States, whether he's teaching us a lesson by allowing us to choose for ourselves the next King Ahab (1 kings 16), or he's chosen to give us the next King Hezekiah to heal the hurt of this land. Regardless, I'm excited to see the movements the Lord is ushering in to this world through the election of our new president.

Welcome to the Whitehouse Mr. Obama, we're counting on you to lead us well.
