OK - so today we transition one US President for another. I don't like talking politics - and I will leave my opinions about Trump out of this. But, what I do know is there is a high level of mistrust on both sides. I've never seen this much American hatred in my lifetime. If this nation has any chance of healing itself - both sides have to 'lean in' here. Our democracy and our very freedoms are at stake. Big government has never been an answer to any prosperous society, ever. But we all have to remember God is ALWAYS in control. Even those who don't acknowledge Him or even believe. Remember how He was in complete control of the Pharaoh in Egypt when Moses was there. We are called to pray for our leaders, including those recently elected. 1st Timothy explains...
" I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time."
