It’s Inauguration Day

We’re finite human beings, living in the days God has placed us in, with a limited view of the past and no knowledge of the future (other than what God has revealed in his Word!). It’s easy for us to become so focused on the temporal that we forget we serve the God who is over all of history, who is sovereign, and who raises up and brings down leaders—good, bad, and in-between—for his own purposes and plans. Our hope for now and eternity is in that God, not in any man, party, or set of policies.

Our hope for now and eternity is in that God, not in any man, party, or set of policies.

Yes, we can be thankful today for the results of the election. We can and should praise God for his mercy in sparing us another term of rabidly pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, and anti-freedom leaders. We should be thankful for the changes we’re already seeing in our culture and in major corporations as they walk back their woke policies. But we must always view everything through the biblical lens of the God who is sovereign over all and who calls us, whether things are “good” or “bad” in this nation, to be about his business until he returns.

And really, we shouldn’t have to change from what we were doing during the last administration—we should have been on about the business of the King, anticipating his return. In other words, we should always be on about reaching as many as we can with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

I encourage you to take time today to pray for President Trump and his administration, including the men and women newly appointed to various roles. Pray that they will do what is right and just, with integrity. Pray that they will defend life and the family unit. And pray for their salvation! Then be about the King’s business of proclaiming his gospel and defending his truth until he returns.

And even though we have seen many changes since election day, woke culture certainly isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you’d like to equip yourself to speak God’s truth in the midst of it, I highly recommend two brand-new resources from AiG writers, Woke Injustice by Bryan Osborne and Modern Marxism by Patricia Engler.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
