Today is an historic day for the United States as Barack Obama is inaugurated as our first African-American president. As believers, we need to be praying for him and for his administration.
So many people, though, are putting their hope in the new president. During my prayer time this morning, the Lord led me to Psalm 146:1-6:
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever. . .
As much as many in the Body of Christ may admire the new president, let’s be sure our hope is not be fastened on him.
Our hope is in the Lord, Who keeps truth forever!!!
