"Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow." (Rom 13:1-2 TLB)
Today in America we witness the peaceful transfer of power as the forty-fifth President of the United States, Donald John Trump is inaugurated. Whether we voted for him or didn't vote for him; agree with him or disagree with him, he is now our President. Let us in love, pray for him, his family and all our government officials. Most importantly, let us pray for our country and indeed the world knowing ultimately that God is in control and He has everything under control.
PRAYER: Father in heaven, creator of the universe. Bless us today and bless our newly elected President, his family, and all those that you alone, have allowed to be placed in authority over us. Give them wisdom and cause them to acknowledge you in all their ways so that you can direct their paths. Our trust is forever in you. Amen.
Dan 2:19-23. . . .Then Daniel praised the God of heaven, saying, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for he alone has all wisdom and all power. World events are under his control. He removes kings and sets others on their thrones. He gives wise men their wisdom and scholars their intelligence. He reveals profound mysteries beyond man's understanding. He knows all hidden things, for he is light, and darkness is no obstacle to him. TLB
