Today I watched the amazing inaguration and the massive sense of good will in the country. I pray that we not just follow Obama as our president, but really follow God with a full heart. As seen in the verses below God is always refining us into his pure Gold.
Mal 3:1-3
3 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the Lord Almighty.
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. NIV
When Gold is brought out of the mountain it is filled with impurities. The gold is put on a fire. The impurities rise to the surface. The impuities are skimmed off the top. How can you tell when the gold is pure? When the refiner sees his reflection in the gold.
The troubles we have right now as a country can be our refining fire. We can, under the leadership of our new president, let God's refining fire create in us a passion for doing what is right. I hope we can see Christ's attitude, beliefs, and actions reflected in all we do as individuals in this great nation. Then our nation can be truly great.
But if we reject God's truth even a great leader like President Obama can not save us.
