Politcal Disagreements?

So, I went to a church that I've never been to this morning. It was a black baptist church. It was a great experience overall. Only the second black church (in America) that I've been to. Being musically minded, I really enjoyed it. From most traditional 'white' churches, music plays a part in the service, but it seems to be lacking some energy that's necessary. Needless to say, it was 'hoppin'.

One side note: the clapping was completely in unison. It was funny to me because I am used to hearing someone who is out of rhythm in the congregation. Not here. Everyone was on beat at all times. I loved it!

On to the stuff about politics. The one thing that stood out the most in the service at this church dealt with politics. The message wasn't even focused on this, but something that was made during prayer left me in amazement. A man was asked to pray and during this prayer he prayed for politicians, locally and federally. He specifically prayed for President Obama. He mentioned in the prayer for God to give all of our government leaders wisdom to make the best decisions for our country and city. Later the preacher referenced that prayer. He also said that we may not agree with all the policies that these people represent, but if we do not pray for God to give them wisdom, then we have no right to complain or badmouth their decisions.

I, personally, admit to complaining about certain things that go on in our government. I also do not pray for God's guidance for our leaders. Commit, with me, to do this daily.
