Here in the US, God has spoken—that’s his sovereignty. And the people have voted—that’s our responsibility. Yes, sovereignty and responsibility go hand in hand. So, yes, the American people have elected Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States, but he has also been appointed by God (as every ruler is).
Romans 13:1 KJV – “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”
Daniel 2:21 KJV – “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings…”
I am thankful that the candidate I believe will best maximize righteousness and minimize evil in this nation has been placed in that position of power. I know many Christians have been praying for the election through election day, but we must continue to pray.
1. Pray for a peaceful transition from the Biden administration to the Trump administration.
2. Pray that the Lord will give the new administration wisdom and efficiency in fixing many of the problems impacting Americans.
3. Pray that President Trump will surround himself with and appoint into positions of influence people who love the Lord and have a biblical worldview.
4. Pray for salvation for President Trump and that he would lead in a humble and godly way.
5. Pray that President Trump and his administration will take a stand for life, protecting the lives of unborn children.
We also rejoice that three states—Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska—rejected amendments that would’ve enshrined abortion into their state constitutions and overturned all pro-life laws in their states. Praise the Lord for those who voted to preserve innocent life!
But sadly, other states, including Montana and Missouri, did vote to add abortion “rights” to their constitutions. In Missouri, this overturns a near abortion ban that only allowed for abortion when the mother’s life was at risk. Now mothers can murder their unborn babies up until the point of viability (when a baby can survive outside the mother’s womb, usually around 21 weeks) in that state. We need to continue praying for these states and against the wickedness that prevailed last night.
We are very grateful to the Lord for so many of the decisions that were made in this election. Let’s continue to pray for this great nation and for those who are leading it.
And here is an admonition for the incoming administration: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…” (Psalm 33:12)
