Please, God, Unite Us

My prayer is that God can bring about a uniting of the division that is now rampant across our country. Both of the top two candidates who were in this race, along with those of the lesser known parties, are all sinners, as are we. The finger pointing; condemnation; hate; ingratitude; disregard for the things that our country was founded on , has brought us where we are today as a nation. We are entering into another "unknown path" just as we did eight years ago with the first black president. 

Now, we are entering an era with a president , who is not a politician, but a businessman. Today, none of us know where the "unknown path" will lead us but I just pray that it leads us back to God.

So, where do we go from here? I think it's up to us as Believers to show forth what we believe to those who are angry, hurt, upset, etc.. at the outcome. Bashing shouldn't be an option of a Believer but it is.........I'm one of those who is guilty of that. We need to all remember it could be the Trump supporters who were on the losing side of the election. It could be the Trump supporters who are angry, hurt, upset, etc. As I have said in some of my postings, God knew before the world was formed who would sit at the desk in the Oval Office in January of 2017. He has a purpose for that person just as He has a purpose of all of us. How 'bout we set out to find what our purpose is now and try to make this world a better place so that unbelievers will see that the heart we profess to have for God and our country are the real thing.

One morning after Jesus spent the night on a mountainside praying to his Father, He came down the next day and chose his twelve disciples. Then He began to teach them,along with a great number of people from Jerusalem. If you read the 6th chapter of Luke, you will find a lot of things we should be doing. One of the things He taught them is something we need to be mindful of today and everyday no matter who or what we are dealing with.
