I normally feel a stronger sense of relief when a Republican wins to presidency. I have prayed, in the past, that Hillary Clinton never, ever become president of the United States. I guess the Lord answered my prayer. I haven’t been praying that so strongly here. I’m tempted to pray that Trump will step down on inauguration day. But the Lord has His own plans.Let us all pray for Donald Trump, that the Lord will work on his heart so that he will seek to do His will________________
Link, as you might imagine I am not feeling a big sense of relief either. I did not vote for either Trump or Clinton, but I did vote for a Republican in the Senate and I voted for a Republican governor. It does not look like our governor will be going back in. I think a big factor (and of course I could be mistaken on this) is that he received a lot of unpopular press for signing the bathroom bill. He is a decent man, a good leader, and, in my opinion, has done a good job. I said that to say that the social conservative issues seem to be losing the day even though they have gotten an inadvertent win, perhaps, with Hillary’s loss.I am glad that Hillary will not be picking the Supreme Court, but that is tempered by the reality that the conservative appointees haven’t come through for us on some big issues.The one thing that I’m feeling hopeful about is that it appears Congress will be under Republican control and that might give us a chance to dismantle Obamacare.
My thoughts and feelings on this are in agreement with those of my friend Dr. Alan Snyder, Professor of History at Southeastern University: ponderingprinciples.com/2016/11/the-election-positives-negatives/
I hope we will all pray for him, and I pray that the weight of the office and the responsibility to those disenfranchised Americans that voted for him will be a sobering and guiding influence to him in the days ahead.
which was supposed to occur in Obama’s second term, if not the first
