The U.S. Presidential election is finally over! Such a nasty, dog-eat-dog, knock-down, drag-out fight. Never seen the likes of it. Some people are happy, while some are sad. Will the U.S. recover? Will the U.S. heal? Will the barriers, cultural, racial, economic finally be broken down? ONLY GOD KNOWS!
B-U-T
Take heart America!
In the Book of Daniel, Chapter 4, we are given insight into the political affairs of our world. At this point in history, the known world was ruled by Nebuchadnezzar II, one of the most vicious, opulent, despotic, yet brilliant kings the world has ever known. Daniel was talking to this proud, vain ruler and told him he was about to be judged for his pride and arrogance. Listen to Daniels's words from the Most High God.
...till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses. (Daniel 4:25b - NKJV)
That means that God, the creator, the ruler of the Universe, for reasons only He knows, has chosen this loud, sometimes profane, arrogant businessman to be president of the greatest nation on earth. (re-read the scripture above: ...the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.)
So, what is to be done?
TO OUR NEW PRESIDENT:
Congratulations on your election to the presidency of The United States of America, the greatest nation in the world. I do not envy you the job you have undertaken. It requires intelligence, wisdom, business acumen, a level head and a strong desire to put the best interests of the country ahead of all others, including your own. I, and many other Christians like me, will be praying for you in this new endeavor.
Mr. President, I am nothing! Yet, I will presume to give you this advice:
Humble yourself in the eyes of the Lord. This is a command, with a blessing attached. If you will humble yourself before God, he will bring you honor.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:10 KJV)
Surround yourself with intelligent people but: Let GOD be your greatest advisor. HE knows the future and only HE knows how to truly protect our country.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NKJV)
When there is a conflict, side with Israel. God made a promise to Abraham many millennia ago and that promise has never been rescinded.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed (Genesis 12:3 NKJV)
Make your peace with God. Just as the "White House" will be your temporary home for the next 4 - 8 years, so is this earthly body only your temporary home. After life comes eternity. Make sure you are ready for it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? (Mark 8:36)
TO OUR NEW FIRST LADY
You are a beautiful, elegant woman with grace and charm! Your temptations will abound. You will influence the lives of many of our daughters. Be careful! Be a kind, caring woman.
Proverbs 31: 10 - 31 gives us Biblical perspective of a truly virtuous woman and ends with these words of wisdom:
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. (Proverbs 31:30 & 31 NKJV)
What will your legacy be for your time in the White House? What works will you do to bring honor to your family and the citizens of the United States of America?
TO ALL AMERICANS:
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor. 13:14)
Amen!
