My heart is so distraught at what our country has just done. I have never been this emotionally involved with an election as this, and I fear what kind of "change" will be affecting our lives over the next four years.
I am grateful I have a God who is bigger than any President that will ever be in the White House.
Yet, I also know that I serve a Lord who will, sadly, bring wrath upon this country for allowing the filth that we have slowly turned a blind eye to. God rises up leaders and brings them down. This country will deserve every bit of turmoil it bears. I pray that He has mercy on His people who love Him and cling to Him.
This election has reassured me about homeschooling or Christian schooling rather than placing my children in the public school system that will open up doors that I would like to keep closed tightly. There is so much more garbage for our children to deal with these days than I ever could have imagined dealing with when I was in school. And that was only 10 years ago, I can't imagine how much worse it will be in 10 more.
Maybe, just maybe, this will stir up something in God's people. A strong passion and desire to spread the gospel and be a voice for those who don't have one. Maybe this is our last and final opportunity to be His hands and feet, and to show the world the Jesus that lives inside of us, instead of keeping Him conveniently tucked away for when we need Him. And I'm not pointing the finger at anyone but myself. Let us remember that we may be the only Jesus that someone ever sees, and it is apparent after this election that the majority of our country has never seen Him, or has seen a Christian fail at showing it.
Go be the light of Jesus! America is awfully dark!
Daniel 4:17 - "... That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the lowest of men."
Psalm 47:9 - "The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted."
John 19:10 - "You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above."
