RE: President Elect Barack Obama

Now, don’t panic. Now is not the time to panic…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Seriously folks, it’s time for a Word from our Sponsor…from Romans 9:
"What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’
It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh (or Obama, as the case may be): ‘I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.’
Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
One of you will say to me: ‘Then why does God still blame us? For who resists he will?’ But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? ‘Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’’ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?
What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath –prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory know to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory – even us, whom he also called, not whom he prepared in advance for glory – even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?"
The plagues in Egypt were not for the Egyptians, but for the Israelites. Egypt was about to be plundered and her glory was coming to an end. It was for Israel, the object of God’s mercy, that Pharaoh was established, and it’s for us, the object of God’s mercy, that Obama has been established. Here at the Fecher estate, we’ve made
2 Cor. 5:9 our family verse, "So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it." That’s our concern, our "worry," in a nutshell – to please God. No worries – God is in control!
God Bless,
