A couple of days after the Nov. 4 national election, a long-faced Christian sister --or is there such a thing as a "long-faced" Christian? (That's "fodder" for another blog!!!)
Anyhow, this Christian sister shook her head and moaned in a dismal voice of despair, "Looks like this is the end for America."
A Christian brother standing nearby reminded me of a thunder cloud as he dourly commiserated, "I'm not sure what happened with the election. After all, we DID pray."
I've wanted to get on my soapbox ever since, and here I finally am, one day before inauguration, standing tall and straight, feet firmly planted on my beloved soapbox!
Yes, we prayed. Christians from North to South, from East to West, prayed for the outcome of the election. Many, no doubt, prayed that the candidates from their political party would win. But how many, I wonder, prayed as Christ did, "Not my will, but Thine be done?"
As my husband often says, "God sees the whole picture, while we see only a small part."
Did God know what He was doing?
Things will either work out for the good of our Nation or help prepare the way for the soon return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Either way, we're winners!
Do we dare trust Him?
