God does not interfere with man’s free will.

Better to pray for the wisdom of God in all things.

But God is not going to punish us with Obama...that is crazy.... That is like saying, ok America, you are depraved so I want the nation that has spread the gospel to all the world to become a communist, godless nation.

Alot of ppl thought 9-11 was God’s will...!!! No, it was the will of terrorist men. Not God. Then they go in to the permissive will thing. Man has free will. And furthermore, alot that goes on certainly is not God’s will.

I am pretty secure in saying, Obama is NOT God’s will.
I don’t think He would go for infanticide.

Then you do not believe the Angel of Death who killed the firstborn children of the Egyptians was the will of God?

Please note that I do believe that McCain can still win and I'm not saying that an Obama win is punishment for things Americans have done wrong. What I'm saying is that we can't always understand God's will nor do we have the same perspective, thus it's better to trust God's will be done than to pray for any particular outcome.

I suspect the Israelites felt the same way, when threatened with punishment by Assyria and Babylon.

I ask God to spare us, but I cannot doubt He would be just in condemning us with Obama.

Man has free will, but God’s will is sovereign.
