Let me ask a question to those who complain and rant against the president. Do you pray for him as much as you criticize him?
Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 2, “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers and intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). God commands us to pray for our leaders. Do you?
God takes his word very seriously. If we dishonor the President there may be consequences in our lives for disobeying God’s command. These consequences will be worse than anything the President does to us by his policies.
So honor Barack Obama. Whether you like him or not. Whether you agree with him or not. If you don’t know how to honor him, it would be better to say nothing and simply pray for him.
