President Barack Obama
November 4, 2008 by Dr. Roger Parrott
No matter how you voted, this is a remarkable and historic day.
Now, we come together under the leadership of President Obama, and Christians around the world need to be joining together in prayer for him and the new administration.
Tonight I am drawn to focus on four remarkable characteristics of this significant election:
- It is remarkable that in an American presidential campaign issues are debated, differences drawn, emotions expressed – but after we vote, we remain the UNITED States of America.
- It is remarkable the 44th President of the United States is an African American, and our country has come so far in racial issues from 1968 to 2008.
- It is remarkable we can smoothly and peacefully transition the presidency during this time of unprecedented economic crisis and wars on two fronts.
- It is remarkable we conducted the first US election of an era of true globalization, and have a president who is being enthusiastically welcomed by much of the world.
I trust you’ll join me in praying regularly for President Obama and Vice President Biden, and continue to support in prayer our leaders completing their time of public service, President Bush and Vice President Chaney.
