There are many out there saying that the President has already broken many of his promises and his latest decisions have been controversial for many. Some of these include:
- The closing of the Guantanamo detention center.
- Obama's determination to meet face to face with Iran's president.
- The promotion of lobbyists to high places of power in Washington after he had promised to fight that.
- The discouragement to use the term 'war on terror'.
- His push to pass a massive spending bailout plan which have left doubts in many and other consider the single most massive government takeover of the private sector in the history of the United States.
This is bringing fear especially to those who had hoped the new president would bring hope and real change to Washington and America and are disappointed by his latest actions. But the Word of God tells us clearly that:
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
who rely on human strength
and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:5 (NLT)
Many people have looked up to Obama as the savior and the one that would bring and end to America's problems, and that is in itself a problem. Our eyes should be put on heaven and our hope in Jesus as He is the real answer to our problems. How long until America realizes that our salvation comes from God and not men? When we finnally realize this, we will see real change.
However, don't be discouraged as Paul wrote to his letter to the Romans Chapter 13:
1 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. (NLT)
So put your burdens on Christ and know that after all God is in control of everything. But also pray so that America turns its heart back to God so that He may have mercy of our country.
