Well the election is over.  The Electoral College is soon to meet and make the official proclamation of Donald J. Trump as President.  He will be inaugurated in January.  So what does this mean to me?  The reality of it all is that no one man living in Washington will ever affect me as much as the God who rules the world.  A Scripture came to mind this morning and I would like you all to think about it.  It is from the Prophet Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 1:10 “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”

Whether you say it like Jeremiah or as Trump, it still means there is always in the life of nations and peoples a time to drain the swamp to allow new growth.  You may not like the new policies or mandates, I am still living in the confidence of a God  who is still in charge.  Let God deal with leadership and let the growth begin.

Some are natural worriers. They fret and wring their hands in anguish over the pending change.  But with any change there is disruption to the status quo.  The issue is that this election shows to me our nation is in need of a righteous judgement. It is not because there is a Republican or a Democrat living in a house in Washington, it is because the nation needs to acknowledge and return back to God.

I believe a nation of self-satisfaction and entertainment is in need of a little tearing down and the resultant building up.  If the lies and inbred deceitfulness of our government is not dealt with it will fall.

I believe our country is at a tipping point.  One side of the level is sin and the other is a return back to a God based morality.  It is the countries choice.  If we do not deal with evil, we will be covered over by it like a grave.  The nation needs to realize the choice and move the nation toward repentance and seeking God’s grace.
