God, our Almighty God, has heard our prayers and allowed people to be put in place to potentially save this country from very evil people. Remember that, return to Him and live. The book of Daniel details where God says He establishes kingdoms, and, He takes them away. If people turn to Him, things will be good. If they turn their backs on Him, it will go very poorly for the survivors.
God also created Lucifer, who choose poorly.
God foreknew it would happen but didn’t cause the pride and downfall. And God held (and holds) the ultimate Trump Card: Omnipotence!
The Last Days of the devil’s evil reign on earth will make even Trump’s current administration look decrepit and slow.
Sometimes God let’s us have our way to get our fill of ourselves and see what a life without Him comes to.
And yet, letting us collectively bear the consequences of our actions is sadly what we needed to wake us up.
God’s blessings are meant to bring us to repentance. But sometimes it doesn’t so He uses other methods, allowing us a taste of life without Him.
Why?
What's your point?
Yup, exactly, it’s been that way all through, ife. The jews clamored for a king so that they could “be like everyone else around them”, and God let them have their way, which resulted in many bad kings which ultimately brought the jews to their senses eventus,ly.
We are no different. And we even have history to look back on to see where they sent wrong, and still those that are godless in the nation now want their “king” to rule over them, ie socialism/communism/godlessness
Amen

God also created the 1931 China floods, the 1887 Yellow River flood, the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, the1970 Bhola cyclone, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 526 AD Antioch earthquake, the 1839 Coringa cyclone, the 1737 Calcutta cyclone, the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, the 1139 Ganja earthquake, Adolph Hitler, Karl Marx, VI Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, Osama bin Laden, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, cancer, heart disease, smallpox, yellow fever, bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, septicemic plague, Spanish flu, swine flu, bird fu, anthrax, Ebola, septicemia, tuberculosis, cholera, dengue fever, hantavirus, leprosy, polio, SARS, diphtheria, malaria, botulism and the 1969 World Series.
Looks like you have a real eagle-eye for spotting all manner of destruction, dysfunction, and outright evil. So much opportunity. What is impressed upon your heart to fix? Who *doesn't* want to cure cancer? Not everybody has those particular abilities, however.
But someone who plays the guitar or knows a few magic tricks might be inspired to entertain the kids on the cancer ward, "merely" to brighten their day.
Which is to say, everyone arrives on this planet with a personalized "Welcome Aboard!" gift pack -- tools and talents for his particular mission within the global force for good. No such thing as unemployment. The 'Help Wanted' signs are everywhere, but it's so hard to find good help these days.
It's like what Andy Defresne said, "Get busy living, or get busy dying."
(Join the Navi, see the world.)
Yet, even with the abundance of opportunities, some folks just can't seem to find anything constructive to DO. It's as if "LOVE" and "HELP" and "GIVE" are four-letter words.
Sad. But don't worry, there's always HOPE! You see, when the Messiah's not busy healing people (it's a full-time job), he's got the farm to tend. Cows, sheep, chickens... you get the idea. A genuine gentleman farmer, so filled with love for every little piglet. As a true visionary, he can see the bacon in their bellies.
Of course, the stalls, pens, and coops need regular cleaning. The barn can get pretty messy. By delegating these responsibilities to those who have nothing better to do, he can spend more time with his patients, and restore dignity and purpose to the jobless souls who lack any work experience. Winning!
It's a real "Can-DO!" win-win situation because not only is he then freed up to use his "Welcome Aboard" gifts to their fullest potential, those bereft of ideas can shovel the sh*t that they have a natural talent for that they didn't even realize they had. Such modesty.
He sure has a knack for identifying skillsets and putting them to GOOD use. What's not to LOVE?
Remember that please.

Keep on the Sunnyside!
Amen Bob!!
