The harsh reality of this election season is that our world has been turned upside down. A multi-billionaire is now the president-elect, and the nation is in an uproar. The United States of America, which was once the world’s powerhouse, is now the laughing stock of the world- the village idiot.

How have we come to this point? How have we slipped so far down the slope of lies that we believe that Donald Trump is the end of this nation?

Donald Trump is not the end. He is a person- a single person who does not have enough power to ruin an entire country. So why are people in such a flurry of anxiety and worry?

The short answer to that is the lack of faith that our nation has in our Creator, but it really goes much deeper than that. Our nation was founded by a group of men who placed their faith in God…not in money, or world power. They did not hope to succeed in their own doings, but put their hope in the One above.

In God we trust…but do we really? Is this phrase exemplified in our nation, or is it just a motto?

There has been great unrest in our country. Though one might think it has to do with racism, or sexism, or bigotry…these are not really the issue. The most serious problem that our country currently faces, and has faced for a very long time, is the lack of faith that we have in God, our Heavenly Father. He is the only source of true joy and hope and peace. Without Him, our world will fall, and is falling, to the lies that we are fed by the enemy.

In the end, it will not matter what your sex is, what the color of your skin is, or who the president is. The only thing that matters, and will ever truly matter, is placing your faith in the One who created you, and growing in your relationship with Him. Eternity awaits at the end of this troublesome time on earth, but the only way to receive this eternity as your own is to place God above your worry and your anxiety.

God will not let our nation fall to one man. He will not abandon nor forsake us.
