The election ended a week ago. Like any conservative Christian, I've been very excited and hopeful. Thinking at times, 'well when Trump is in charge, this is going to improve.' 'Wow, I can't wait until Trump changes this.' It's come to mind more times than I can count.
I'm pregnant and have 2 little kids. The world around me can seem a little scary sometimes. I am so excited to see that President Trump was elected again. He was a fantastic president, and I have high hopes that he is going to do an even better job this time.
But here's the thing - Donald Trump isn't the Savior. He's an imperfect man. Jesus Christ came to save. When I get excited and think about how much good Trump is going to do, I have to redirect my eyes to Christ.
There's nothing wrong in getting excited. President Trump is a great leader. It's okay to be hopeful of the future. However, Trump isn't Christ. Only through Jesus Christ, he will be able to do great things. I need to pray for President Trump every day. In fact, I should be praying for my leaders every single day.
Daniel 2:21
"He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding".
Am I super excited for the next 4 years under President Trump? Yes, absolutely! But, I'll be praying for him and everyone in leadership as well. ;)
