Well, we all have heard how historic yesterday's election was. And I agree it is a great accomplishment, but now we wait and see. There were a lot of promises made for change. I hope people are ready for the changes that really will come; they may find they are not the ones they expected.
So much of this election was decided solely on a person's words. But as I've been reminded of several times recently, saying and doing are two very different things. Actions will reveal a person's true beliefs.
The coming months and even years ahead will give the new President and us an opportunity to demonstrate beliefs through actions. As Believers, what will responses of anxiety, anger, or bitterness reveal about what we say we believe about God's sovereignty? My prayer for myself and all who know Christ is that we will be able to respond instead with a steady trust, not in a man, but in the Sovereign King, not in a party or plan for change, but in the person of Jesus Christ, who ultimately is the only One who can and will bring true change through the transforming power of the Gospel.
