The U.S. Presidential election is over and our new President has been inaugurated. These last few years have held many challenges to all citizens and residents of the United States. It has made practically ALL Americans realize that their government is broken. Can it be fixed? Will the U.S. recover? Will the U.S. heal? Will the barriers, cultural, racial, economic finally be broken down? ONLY GOD KNOWS! We are in the last days, America. Jesus will soon return to Planet Earth. Then and only then will we have lasting peace, justice and mercy.
B-U-T
Take heart America!
In the Book of Daniel, Chapter 4, we are given insight into the political affairs of our world. At this point in history, the known world was ruled by Nebuchadnezzar II, one of the most vicious, opulent, despotic, yet brilliant kings the world has ever known. Daniel was talking to this proud, vain ruler and told him he was about to be judged for his pride and arrogance. Listen to Daniels's words from the Most High God.
...till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses. (Daniel 4:25b - NKJV)
That means that God, the creator, the ruler of the Universe, for reasons only He knows, has chosen this loud, sometimes profane, arrogant businessman to be president of the greatest nation on earth. (re-read the scripture above: ...the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.)
So, what is to be done?
PRESIDENT TRUMP:
Congratulations on the beginning of your second term of office as the president of The United States of America, the greatest nation in the world. I do not envy you this thankless job. It requires intelligence, wisdom, business acumen, a level head and a strong desire to put the best interests of the country ahead of all others, including your own. I, and many other Christians like me, have been, and still are praying for you.
First, let me thank you for all your Executive Orders you have already signed. We don't all agree on everything yet we see you are attempting to keep your campaign promises and that is a wonderful thing! A man that keeps his word can be trusted with many things.
Mr. President, I am nothing but a child of God! Yet, I will presume to give you this advice:
Don't worry about what people are saying at the moment. Do what is "right in the eyes of the Lord."
Humble yourself in the eyes of the Lord. This is a command, with a blessing attached. If you will humble yourself before God, he will bring you honor.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:10 KJV)
Surround yourself with intelligent people but: Let GOD be your greatest advisor. HE knows the future and only HE knows how to truly protect our country.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NKJV)
When there is a conflict, side with Israel. God made a promise to Abraham many millennia ago and that promise has never been rescinded.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed (Genesis 12:3 NKJV)
Make your peace with God. Just as the "White House" has been/will be your temporary home for the next 4 years, so is this earthly body only your temporary home. After life comes eternity. Make sure you are ready for it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? (Mark 8:36)
TO OUR FIRST LADY
You are a beautiful, elegant woman with grace and charm! Don't pattern your life after anyone else. God made you a unique creation. You will influence the lives of many of our daughters. Be careful! Be a kind, caring woman.
Proverbs 31: 10 - 31 gives us Biblical perspective of a truly virtuous woman and ends with these words of wisdom:
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. (Proverbs 31:30 & 31 NKJV)
What is your agenda for your time in the White House? What type of a legacy will you leave? First Lady, Laura Busch left a legacy of "No Child Left Behind", which, while in theory sounds good, has caused many challenges for both educators and the families of the children affected by it. How would you like it if your children had to share a classroom with a violent, emotionally challenged child, who throws desks or chairs at other students and the teacher because he will not control his temper? Yet, this is what Mrs. Busch's legacy has left us.
Will you possibly try to gain support to fix our broken educational system and make it safe for our children once again?
I have not heard of anything special you have done for either our country or it’s people the last time you were in the White House. What did you do to bring honor to your family and the citizens of the United States of America? What did you do for God? Your heavenly reward depends on your earthly actions.
TO ALL AMERICANS:
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor. 13:14)
Amen!
