Is Barak Obama The Answer?
There are two great stories: the one about a Savior who was born in a manger, and the one about a Savior that is coming to Washington. Or so the liberal blogs would have us believe. I mean,good heavens, even Oprah has anointed Barak as "The One". The left-wing pundits and Ivy Leaguers are all a-twitter. America is desperate for change, that's for sure. They need new hope; they need direction; they need a new beginning that will release them from their past. They need to read Isaiah 32:15-18.
"....till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert become a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. Justice will dwell in the desert and righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest."
Isaiah clearly understood that abundance, safety, and fertility depend on the success of the God-man relationship, not on politics. The lesson is simple: when the people of God do what is right, the result is peace, security, and freedom from stress. When they don't, the result is disaster and stress upon stress. What America needs is more of Jesus Christ, not Barak Obama or John McCain!
America has experienced periods of great prosperity and influence around the world. Not coincidentally, these have come at the same time as spiritual revivals across the land. Also, not coincidentally, is the correlation between lukewarm Christianity, corruption in high places, and economic and national disasters.
It's no small thing that since God has been kicked out the court house and banned from speaking to children in public schools, disaster upon disaster has pummelled America like a clarion call from heaven: "Repent, so that nothing worse may befall you."
No, America's hope is not Obama. America's hope is to humble herself before the Lord so that He may show grace and heal their land.
Friends, your Savior is not Barak Obama. Your Savior is Jesus Christ!
