I've been thinking....

I was glued to the TV today to watch this transformation of Washington and I was thinking that, if we believe that God's hands are on DJT (like I do), Trump not winning in 2020 was probably the best thing that could have happened in the long run. We were in the middle of COVID and everyone was mad. The Country was a mess. Trump probably could not have done in the first two years the things he will do now. He is older, wiser knows the Democrat tricks and has much more support than he did then. The Country needed to see what Democrat rule does and they did not like it. Am I wrong?

You know, I think you may be right.

It is simply the hand of God doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. :)

No matter whose hands are on him, the loss was good for him and for this country, though I never could have seen that until now. But the crazies are still out there and I’m not going to exhale until after noon tomorrow.

I’m sure you’re right. Out of office, he was able to do so much more to unite the country. He grew more powerful and respected and was not constrained. The public recoiled from experiencing the ‘true intentions’ of the Dem party’s ‘vision’. Loyal dems saw dementia Joe and his handlers for what they are- and fled their party. Contrast that to his first 4 years when it was lawfare 24/7.

I agree. Were it not for Biden “winning” the 2020 election, the full extent of the democRAT perfidy and pure evil would not have been exposed.

In hindsight, I agree.

So many people have said the same thing.

One reason is that it gave him time to re-group, lines up GREAT Cabinet people, learn more stuff.

Another reason is that Biden “winning” sent us to the proverbial rock bottom, so that everyone saw how truly deadly the Democrats are.

I don’t know about that idea which comes up often in politics about how one or two bad elections eventually resulted in something good, but in this case it may be true, the indications this time is that Trump is going to take a wrecking ball to the institutions, an actual true upheaval of them, unlike anything that we have ever seen, often talked about, but never actually seen.

Rom 8:28

‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.’

when the devil has you on the cross, it’s the devil that better beware.

Also, four terrible years of democrat leadership has woken a lot of people up who otherwise would not have.

Trump can get more done if he has good public support.

Other’s have ‘thought’ the same thing :)

I posted, on the Victory Rally thread ... as one door closes ... many more open.

God had/has a plan for this good man.

You don’t have to guess. Ro 13:1, no one comes to rule without being installed by God, good or bad.

I’m not sure about “God’s hand” though, as I wouldn’t presume to speak for God, other than to say His will be done. I do hope, he uses his platform to advocate for another Great Awakening.

I am positive you are right.
There is a passage in Genesis 50:20 that says

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”....

Often what we think is a disaster, and YES I believe that Trump was DEFRAUDED....God uses. In this case, America needed four years of Biden and the corruption to grow and mature before the full head of evil ripened and produced violence, crime and corruption out of control.

God works in ways we can’t understand.

been saying that for the past four years while my friends were BMW’ing about the cheat. now they’ve come to see my point. four years of biden and the crazies of the left gave all Americans a chance to see who these people REALLY are and the results speak fo themselves. you can bet the liberal activists are wishful they hadn’t of cheated in 2020...but I’m glad they did. MAGA!

You are so right Jim.

It is absurd that we spend so much time TRYING to unravel God's plans and " FIGURE THINGS " out... when He wants us to TRUST HIM fully and MARCH forward!!!

True. Not what we wanted but what we needed.

Luke 12:2-3 (NIV)
[2] There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. [3] What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

Satan’s wickedness in the hearts of those in power (people) needed to have the masks stripped off and laid naked for all to see.
