God is Saying . . .
"He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God ?"
-- Micah 6:8
Christians are praying wisdom and godliness for the incoming president. We are praying wisdom, peace, and righteousness for America; and for the Church. These prayers please God, "...who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (I Timothy 2:1-4).
But I continue to hear God say, increasingly and more insistently, that Christians MUST NEVER pray that the unrighteous policies and programs of the coming presidency will "Make America Great Again."
God's inviolable moral law is that doing unrighteousness will NEVER...CAN never...produce good results.
Acting against that law did not work for Adam and Eve.
Doing unrighteousness has never produced good results. It never will.
And Christians must never pray it will. Asking God to reverse the moral law guaranteed in His Own Character, and please let unrighteousness "Make America Great Again," is a prayer profoundly displeasing to God.
We risk God's extreme wrath to flippantly pray "God bless America," if we are asking Him to bless unrighteousness.
Micah tells us the Law by which God judges men's deeds. It is the Law by which He judges men's political deeds. It is the Law by which God judges all nations of men.
May America do the righteousness God commands. If America does unrighteousness, may we pray for forgiveness, and follow with deeds of repentance. May we NEVER pray that God act against His Own Character, and His Own law...and His Own righteous judgement.
