Even though I don't know exactly what to think about the outcome, I know that God works for the good in all things, so He will do so in this. I also know that He is sovereign over all things and allows things to happen because He is God and not only can see the "big picture", He is the big picture.
I keep remembering something I heard at church a few weeks ago, and that is that social justice must be coupled with the cross of Jesus Christ to succeed. No president is going to fix our human nature and all the change and hope and love and peace and unity in the world won't either.
My prayer for America is that through this, we would not focus on the inabilities or inadequacies of the president elect or divide over issues which will never fully be resolved or settled, but rather we would unite in the fact that we are all humans in need of a Savior.
The verse that just came to my mind is a verse that many people have heard and read a million times, but holds so much truth and hope. The truth is not hidden, we just have to seek it.
John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
