I predict it will be…
.

.
.
.

John Sidney McCain or Barack Hussein Obama.

Sorry to disappoint you. :)

 
But quite frankly, without getting into a big political discussion (which is not the focus of FamilyDads), I will not be surprised nor unsettled by whichever of these two men is the next president.

Why not?

Because our hope is not in a man.

Our faith is not in a political leader.

And our peace is not in an earthly government.

Our hope, our peace, and our faith are in the all-powerful Creator of this earth on which we live… the Almighty God,
our eternal Father…

Who has preserved for us His Scriptures for our understanding of spiritual matters,

Who has given us His Son for our salvation and as our model for “Kingdom-focused” living,

Who has given us His Spirit for our guidance and comfort,

Who has given us our very lives through our parents, and

Who has given each of us our own precious family.

Regardless of who the next president is, or who the next batch of lawmakers are that run the government of
the United States of America…

We dads must continue to seek God first, to gain knowledge and understanding from Him, to read His Word and let Him speak to us often, to be led by His Spirit in our daily thoughts, decisions, and actions, and to continue to lead, love, serve, and disciple our family in the new political season we will find ourselves in.

For God is the only “change we can believe in.”
