January 20, 2009.
A memorable day as Barack H. Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Memorable because he is the very first African-American to hold this position.
It's been a long haul since Martin Luther King, Jr.
I salute President Obama......not because he is worthy of any great praise, not because he is now, as some would say, a savior of the world, not because he seems like a very fine fellow.....no.
I salute him because anyone who is willing to hold this office, shows that he is willing to take on the burdens of his country, he is willing to see major changes and he is willing to be an example as to what needs to be done to recover their floundering country. I trust his willingness will be proven in his deeds.
May God protect, defend and preserve him by the power of the Holy Spirit and may that Spirit go deep and dwell within this man as he holds office. May God keep him humble and righteous, putting the needs of others before himself. May the lure and temptation of power and wealth be kept from him and instead, may he find his strength and sense of power only in You.
Amen.
