Brothers & Sisters:
Long after the new president's administration has come and gone, all who have made Christ their Lord will still be the "elect" of God.
As a result, your eternal security as the child of God is certain, no matter what happens in the new presidential transition. The global economic crisis, as challenging as it is, cannot touch your "retirement account" in heaven. The true King of Kings cannot be elected or defeated by human decision. As C. S. Lewis points out, the man who denies the sunrise doesn't hurt the sun—he only proves himself a fool. Your Father will be as much the God of the universe tomorrow as he was yesterday.
However, it does not mean that we should sit back and wait for the next election! As Christians, we must stand up for all that is correct according to God's Word. This includes the abortion issue. We must continue to speak for those who can not, as well as continue to hold our ground on every issue that challenges The Word of God.
Despite the current situations in America, these stressful times are no surprise to The Lord. He wants us to find hope and security in his presence, providence, and power. Indeed, "God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7, ESV). So name your fear and give it to your Father and continue to "fight the good fight of faith"!
