Romans 15:5
5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus.
This morning we wake (well some of us stayed up for it) to a new future. This morning there are winners, and there are losers. This morning one thing has not changed, and that is our hope, and faith in Christ. Some might be “red” and some might be “blue” but we are all Christians, this is the only unity that counts, the unification of Christ. This party of Christ transcends any and all party lines. It does not matter this morning if “your guy” won or lost. We are not in the drivers seat. As always, we do what we can do, and then we let the Lord do the rest.
So if your guy did lose, so be it, there is no need for hatefulness, there is no need to act wounded. If your guy won, there is no need to boast, there is no need to try and “rub it in”. We will learn as time goes on what the true outcome will be, we will see if this man is a leader or just another politician, but one thing is for sure……. we will see the Lord’s plan unfold. It is the unification in Christ that counts, and that battle is fought daily, not every 4 years!
Peace,
Rev. Thetford

Rev. Thetford, great post, it is so true! I am so thankful, for the inspiring, encouraging, and empowering, living word of God. It has helped me so much in my journey through life!
Absolutely, there are so many today that deny the spiritual battle that goes on right before our eyes. You are right, it is our unification in Jesus Christ that matters most, he is the only one that can save us.
