I think there are two attitudes that we should have at the forefront of her thinking right now. The first is rejoicing. The country seems to be moving again. People seem to be gathering their optimism and deciding to invest in the future. We see a lot of good things happening at the top, or should I say we hear a lot of things that should be happening at the top.
Be optimistic.
At the same time, a healthy dose of skepticism and a few grains of salt are always in order. Examine what is being proposed. Don’t assume that Donald Trump is God or that he is mistake free. We all know he’s not. He knows he isn’t. What we also know is that he loves the country and for a billionaire has a real place in his heart for common people. But again, hold his feet to the fire.
And at the center of this is that admonition to keep praying. Don’t stop now. And as you pray for him, pray for the churches of America that the pastors in the pulpit would wake up and smell the Rose of Sharon. Pray that the believers in this country would actually start to believe and apply that belief to their daily lives. If you are a believer, then live like you’re a part of the people of God in a nation that is not chosen by God, but has been blessed by God. Pray that he blesses, not so that we can have personal security, but so that we can be a continued force for righteousness in the world.
Just as important, keep speaking up. Keep standing up. I keep coming across that term “psyops” which means that the press and the “influencers” are going to keep trying to undermine everything that Trump wants to do. Keep in mind that as much as they smile, and as much as they look like they’d love some chocolate chip ice cream, most of them are Marxists at heart and hate America. They will lie about anything in order to drag us down and make us a Third World country with a bunch of elite socialists in charge. So keep speaking up. Let the world know that you support the good things that are going on without abandoning your principles.
The future is still open.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
