It has been exactly one week since the presidential election was happening "big-scale" throughout our nation but we all know, that it is never "officially" decided until the Electoral College votes on December 14. The upheaval now of whether the media called the election too early, if President Trump has the right or should be contesting votes, etc is dominating our news as much, or more so, than the actual election.
Well, I have great news for all Christians....you can live in peace about it. We have cast our vote (or maybe you didn't - that is your choice realizing you are answerable to God for who you vote for) and whoever is President of the United States will not change our relationship or commitment to the President.
1. Whoever is President, we will not worship him or put our trust in him. That is reserved for the only one true God that we know through His Son, Jesus Christ. Man will ALWAYS disappoint us, but God never will. Politicians serve us, we don't serve them.
2. We will pray for him. We will ask God to protect him and his family, to grant him physical health, to guide him in the paths of righteousness, to place people around him that will give him wise and godly advice.
3. We will thank God for him. That's right...thank God for him because according to Romans 13: 1 no one gets into power that God does not put there and leaders are a gift from God. So, we say, thank you God for your gift.
4. We will honor him. The office of the President, as it is with anyone ordained by God in leadership, should be honored. The person holding the office may not deserve the honor, but the office he occupies qualifies him for our honor.
