It was once told to me that if you have a pastor you don’t like, don’t waste time complaining. Instead, pray for the one you have that he’ll become the one you want. This will prevent you from dishonoring Christ, leaving too early or causing problems within the church. I think that is very good advice. I also think it applies to the President of the United States.
If you don’t like the person elected, rather than engaging in UNPRODUCTIVE bad-mouthing, which only divides and brings shame to the name of Christ, spend that time PRODUCTIVELY praying for him to be the kind of president this country needs.
Look, God is in the business of changing the hearts of man (and he’s changed some much more idealogical than the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!), so if you think this is the wrong man, then sincerely pray for him. Every time you’re ready to say something negative or post something cynical, pray instead…at that moment!
I think it has much less to do with the “man” in office. God can do whatever He likes with whomever He wills. Psalm 115:3 says, “Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.” So, engage in spiritual battle for the sake of us all and, if your prayers are in line with the will of God, it will be done. That’s the only way America will be changed and the only way America will be blessed.
