Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States was overwhelmingly elected last week to be the 47th President! The prayers of the saints prevailed over the manipulations of the media.
Not only did Donald Trump win all seven of the so-called “swing states,” he rang up an impressive majority of the popular vote as well. “Make America Great Again” resounds from cities and towns across the country.
Republican majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives will hopefully move righteous legislation onto President Trump’s desk to become the law of the land.
Even now, we are seeing the President-elect make appointments for his new administration that are making progressive heads explode! He is appointing loyal supporters to cabinet and other positions, and unlike 2017, he is not taking any advice from Washington DC insiders. The swamp is terrified!
There is much work to be done, and what we are seeing is that he is up to the task. Unlike the previous administration hovered over by a man who was clearly incapable of making an intelligent decision, we are seeing a person who is more than capable of doing what needs to be done.
As we look forward to the next four years, what ought we to do? As Christian conservatives, do we have a role in making sure that Donald Trump is successful in the task that God has clearly set him apart to accomplish? The hand of Almighty God is on this man to bring about the necessary change to restore us again to the Constitutional Republic that Ben Franklin said we need to keep.
How can we come alongside to help activate the spiritual forces necessary to bring about the awakening that will move us beyond political reformation to genuine spiritual renewal?
