Just a thought to help start your week.

You know by now, of course, that we have a new President, sworn in to office just a few short days ago. Regardless of your political stance, you must certainly realize the racial turmoil and enormous divisive nature of the past eight years. As we look forward to days ahead, we are reminded in God’s Word to pray for our leaders. Pray for those in authority. Pray for their decision-making processes. Pray for their safety. Pray for their families. Just pray.

Will God use President Trump to heal the hurts in our great land? I believe God can use any of us who allow ourselves to be used of Him. And we all desperately need to be used of Him.

Republican or Democrat – it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we remain as One Nation, Under God. This photo, taken last summer at the American Cemetery in Normandy, France, is a picture of exactly why we are to stand together as Americans! Too many lives have been given to provide for your freedoms. And One Life was given to provide for your salvation!

Vote your conscience. Then, when the totals are counted – win or lose – pray for those who hold the elected offices. And pray that we here at home will remain faithful to lift them all up to the Lord. I believe God will bless American again. Let’s pray together for it to be so.

Just a thought.
