It’s been reported that Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum have all suggested that God called on them to enter the presidential race.
But here we are: Cain’s out. Bachmann’s out.
After returning to Texas to “reassess” his campaign, Perry announced he’s not throwing in the towel. Judging by his poor showing in the Iowa caucuses and the debates so far, however, many political experts think it’s just a matter of time.
The only one with supposed divine guidance who’s still in the race is Santorum.
So what gives? Did the candidates misread God’s supposed message? Does the defeat of a divinely-inspired candidate necessarily contradict a message from God?
Just because God tells you to enter a contest doesn't necessarily mean that He's guaranteeing victory for you. It may be a trial that you need to go through for personal growth; or maybe you have a message that needs to be heard and this is the forum He's chosen for it.
This has been going on since the early days fo Judeo-Christian history. God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, but did he make it to the promised land?

I should follow up by saying that I don't necessarily believe that God actually called any or all of these people to run; more than likely they are like most Christians, they do what their egos tell them to do and convince themselves that it's the voice of God speaking.
God told me too.....and my wife thinks i'm an idiot......God told me not to share the info because he doesn't want me to spoil the surprise for the rest of you....in November I will reveal that I was right and you all will 'know' I am a prophet(well perhaps no one here is that stupid...but you never know)

Maybe god calls them to run so that he can watch them debate before making a final decision.
