Good day! I’m

Da 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He
removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to
those who have understanding.
On this morning after the presidential election in
America, it appears Donald Trump was the winner and will return to the office
that he held from 2016-2020.
Some of you will gloat, (please don’t) others will
grumble, (please don’t) rather, based on this scripture from Daniel, and Ro
13:1 we ought to be thankful, and we ought to view all election results through
the lens of the Word of God!
Rom 13:1 Says, “Let every soul be subject to the
governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the
authorities that exist are appointed by God.
And incredibly, not one ruler or king is immune to the will of
God! God is able to turn the heart any which way He chooses. Pr 21:1 assures
us, “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He
turns it wherever He wishes.”
In the meantime let us pray for the winners! Pray that
the Lord would grant wisdom and knowledge to all elected officials! Pray as we
are encouraged to do in 1Ti 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all
men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved
and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The Lord concerns Himself with the leaders of the land
and their policies. Be thankful for them. Pray for an atmosphere conducive to a quiet
and peaceful life in the land. which are marks of the followers of Christ, and
above all pray and work for revival in America for it is God’s ultimate desire
that all men, Republicans, Democrats and
all others to come to the knowledge of truth.
The knowledge of God’s truth is simply this: We are
all sinners in need of a Savior and God sent His only Son into the world for
that purpose, Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
