If you are celebrating the victory of President Trump or struggling through disappointment after voting for Vice President Harris, the assignment for Christians both sides remains the same.

It’s true in every season of life. Whether you’re celebrating a victory or mourning a loss, our calling as followers of Christ remains unchanged. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost” (Luke 19:10). In times past, believers have lived under kings and tyrants, emperors and democracies. Yet, their joy has never wavered, for they see God’s grand design and stay fixed on their mission: seeking and saving the lost.

Proverbs 19:21 speaks to the ageless disappointments we all feel. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” In moments of disappointment, we’re reminded to look beyond our crushed expectations, to glimpse God’s unseen work, shaping even our struggles for His purpose.

Jesus himself showed us the way when he faced the hour of his death. In the garden, his human heart longed to turn away, yet he submitted with these words: “Not my will, but Thy will be done.” Even then, he held fast to God’s plan, knowing it held more than human eyes could see.

Across the political divide, we are still bound as brothers and sisters in Christ. Our charge is to love, as Christ has loved us, without condition. With this love, we have the power to overcome the world, one soul at a time.

This Sunday, Pastor Mark Nsimbi will speak on the strength found in silence. Join us, for together, we’ll find blessing and renewal.

Your friend always,

Pastor Tim White
