Keep the faith & be encouraged

My response to Senator Obama's speech the other day.....

Keep the faith and be encouraged all who work towards the perfection of our union.

Although we do not know specifically what he did and the name isn't spelled exactly the same (Barak), in Hebrews Chapter 11 several men were mentioned who exhibited a great faith.

v. 32-34
"And what more shall I say? I do not have the time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through FAITH conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies."

v. 39-40
"These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only TOGETHER with us would they be made perfect."

I am encouraged & inspired by Senator Obama's speech because finally someone has acknowledged the white elephant in the room, aired our dirty laundry and spoke with eloquence about the actions & events that have stained the Stars & Stripes for far too long.

God bless all of you.
God bless America.
