The election is over. A bit more than half the country celebrates, while others mourn. Not since the civil war have divisions run so deep. Many prayed intensely about the election. Don’t stop now. Keep on praying! Monday, January 20, 2025, is Inauguration Day in America. Well before then, President-elect Trump must put together an Administration and a strategy for carrying out his goals in leading the country. The decisions he and his team make now — especially personnel decisions — will have enormous ramifications for America’s future, and the future of the world. Yes, God has everything under control. He does not need our advice on how to run things. Even so, He asks us to bring our petitions to Him. He not only welcomes our prayers, He commands them!
The importance of the seed promise and the blessing are clear to many Christians. Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the seed promise. The blessing is the gospel going out to all the nations. But Christians often struggle to understand the significance of the land promise. Land seems unspiritual and perhaps even irrelevant to Christianity.
Jesus forgives, and He forgives completely. In Him, you can find what He called in Matthew 11:29, “rest for your souls.” Nevertheless, it’s important that we see abortion as a moral issue.
