Let the Restoration of America Begin!

November 5, 2024 proved to be victorious for Donald J. Trump.  Yet, more importantly, it proved to be victorious for our nation.  Undoubtedly, conservatives across America are high-fiving, texting, posting on social media, and gathering to celebrate the fact that hope has been restored to save our country from the evil pit into which it was sliding.

But, before we get too carried away, let’s reflect on the journey that got us into this situation in the first place.  We, as individuals and a nation, have turned our backs on God, and removed Him from the forefront of our hearts and minds.  This wasn’t an overnight phenomenon, it was a result of not putting the kibosh on the drip, drip, drip of the indoctrination and propaganda tactics employed by the socialist left and those who have evil in their hearts.

Conservatives need to take some responsibility for our nation’s decline.  We were either ignoring the gas-lighting; chose not to make a fuss about what was happening; didn’t know how to combat the destruction; or chose to do nothing (including voting.)

Thankfully, we have a loving God Who through His mercy and grace is willing to give us a second chance.  In fact in recent months, God gave Trump a second (and third) chance at life.  We must remember that God is the one who authorizes and places people in positions of leadership (even sometime evil ones) for His purposes, which are often beyond our understanding.

          “…For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that

         exist are appointed by God.”                 Romans 13:1

So, what are We the People going to do with this gracious gift of a second chance?  First and foremost, we should get on our knees and give thanks and praise to God.  Next, we must pray daily that our elected leaders will turn back to God and seek His wisdom, protection, and strength.

As for Trump, his second chance should include following the example of King Solomon.  Chapter two of the 1 Kings in the Bible describes when Solomon succeeded his father David as Israel’s king.  David’s final words to Solomon were to urge him to be strong and courageous, and to put his full trust and faith in God.  David also discussed some unfinished business about which Solomon was to address.

The first thing he did was to “drain the swamp!”  A few members of David’s administration, which were now to be part of Solomon’s, had betrayed David and one had even gotten away with two murders.  Solomon took care of business to root out corruption in his administration.  Now, there is no suggestion that President Trump should follow the same tactics used by Solomon to drain the swamp.  However, there is much for Trump to do to eradicate the corruption…especially in the 3-letter agencies.

The next thing King Solomon did, was to ask God for wisdom.  He asked for a discerning heart that was tuned into the voice of God so he could lead Israel as God would want it to be led.  This is another course of action that President Trump should emulate to help lead America back to God.  What better way could we as a nation express our love and gratitude for our second chance.

Speaking of the swamp, it is still present despite the numerous victories in the 2024 election. People like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren won their re-election bids, as well as Adam Schiff (aka “shifty” because truth is not in his repertoire) is now a senator.  These, along with the gaggle of socialist leftists in the Senate still remain.  However, thanks again for the grace of God, the conservatives have won the majority of the Senate with some new blood.  As of this writing, the majority of the House is still undecided, but is favoring Republicans. Let’s not waste this trifecta.

While we were victorious in several measures, such as defeats of ranked-choice voting, and approvals of voter ID requirements, we sadly lost a key measure. Eight states (including Nevada) adopted measures that allow/promote ending the life of babies in the womb.  Liberals call this reproductive freedom…God calls it murder!

The nightmare of the nearly past four years has been grueling. God may have orchestrated it in this manner to wake us up and admit the error of our ways in removing God from the hearts of Americans.  As the radical left and untruthful media wipe the egg off of their faces and run to their safe spaces to sulk, let this be a time where we should reawaken the conservative’s spirit and remain active in prayer and service to do our part to restore our nation.  God bless America!
