I'm sure most of you who read this share the same opinion of our new president elect Barack Obama (I was not celebrating Tuesday night in case you were still wondering). As I try to do with most of my other posts to either inspire or encourage I thought I'd do the same here. I read these verses the other day and I hope they can encourage you like they did me:
1 Peter 2:13-16
"Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor."
1 Timothy 2:1-4
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Have a great day!!!

Thanks Amber, I think we all need to be reminded of this! Love You.
Thank you SO much for this! I've actually been pretty depressed about the outcome of the election, and this was really encouraging to me. Thanks!
