This is God's Doing

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”  Judges 6:12-15 As I read about Gideon and how God called him to save Israel, my thoughts turn to our current President. Here is a man who has no faith. (Gideon)  I am weak, I cannot do this. His father built an alter to Baal in their town. One of the things God asked Gideon to do was to tear down the alter to Baal, Gideons father had built. This man is so fearful, he obeys but does it under the cover of night. He is full of fear and has no confidence in his own abilities. God sends him to lead the armies of Israel to defeat their oppressors. They start out with 32,000 but God says this is too many. I want the people to know when I deliver them, that it was me. Gideon sends hid army home for various reasons God gives him until their is just 300 left. God wanted the Israelites to know it was God that delivered them and deliver them he did. The opposing army ran for their lives, killing each other as they ran. Doesn't this sound like what is happening in America today. We have a President that people said NEVER TRUMP. They laughed on election night. and in the morning after the election it was Trump.  The media is against him and daily we hear his name slandered from main stream media.  His own party does not support him. It is a daily fight, and yet this man is fulfilling his promises, in spite of the opposition. This has God written all over it. A non politician, he does not have the support of his own party. The main stream media, CBS, NBC, ABC, and what ever other Media is out their reports night after night, day after day slander after slander and this man wins. Jobs being added. He is still fighting for the wall. God wants the glory. I believe when this is over and done with, we will look and say how? Every day we hear nothing but evil said about this man and he keeps ticking. He had everything he needed, wealth, a good life, he didn't need us. He good have lived out his remaining days in comfort. I believe God sent Trump, as an answer to the prayers of Christians across this nation. Just like God heard Israel's prayers at their oppression and send Gideon.  From the beginning, I have felt like this is God's doing. I keep praying for this President, because I do not understand what is happening in our country. I do know it is a spiritual  battle raging in our nation. I do know God is sovereign. I look at what is happening and I read about Gideon and I think this has to be God at work. They laughed, never Trump. Hillary is still looking for the reason she lost. Look to the heavens, God is still sovereign, God still has the last word. I also think of the three Hebrew children being thrown into the fiery  furnace. O king, if God chooses to deliver us, he can but either way we are delivered out of your hands.  We Christian are only here temporarily. The signs of the time say judgement day is near. Our lives are in God's hands. Either way, like the three Hebrew Children, we win. God can deliver or ultimately we end up in Heaven with him. We win. This is God's doing, he is still on this throne.  God bless, LVZ.
