Winning Battles, Not Wars
The Trump victory on November 5th was in many ways expected, and in others very surprising.
Expected because of how disgruntled average Americans were with the border situation, grocery prices, high inflation, woke ideology, and downright neglect on the part of the American Government (Hurricane Helene). The anger was palpable, Kamala had a part in it (she has been VP for the last 4 years, after all), so it's natural many would see her opponent Trump as the solution to such grievances and respond accordingly.
On the other hand, Trump's victory was surprising because of how easily it went through. There were no burst water pipes, 3 am vote dumps, or women with blonde braids reaching under tables to unload suspect cases of ballots from Rubbermaid containers.
Also, Trump's final vote tally was roughly 76 and a half million compared to Biden's tally of 81 million plus in 2020. Where did those 5 million votes go?
Hard to say. A lot of things about his are hard to say. It almost seems too easy, and that is why I urge caution with the phrase: "We've won a battle, but not the war."
Trump is not yet sworn in, and anything could happen between now and January 20, 2025. Even once Trump is sworn in, he will face constant pushback from communists and cutthroats attempting to undermine him and the American people.
He himself may be an obstacle. He has a big and somewhat narcissistic personality, and I do worry that some are so hopeful in his ability to turn things around they hand him deity like status. The wrong kind of attention could contribute negatively to this character flaw of Trump's.
Trump, at the end of the day, is just a man. who requires prayer and Divine Guidance in order to do the right thing. We all do, and that is why I encourage my brethren to incorporate special times of prayer and fasting into their routines over the next four years.
Now is not the time to rest, but to engage more fiercely against the spiritual enemy.
We've won a battle, not the war. For the Christian, the war continues until a King is Crowned, not a president inaugurated, and it's important to remember that.
