Sometimes God grants a nation or individuals what they want as a means of showing them that maybe they didn't understand the full picture, as He does, and maybe what we wanted wasn't what was best.
It's hard to go through unexpected reversals, even though we may have gotten what we thought we wanted...sometimes our ears get "tickled" and we go for something that isn't really what it appears to be, and then we are saddened to realize that we didn't make the best decision after all.
The good news is that God will always be there even when we make bad choices, to help us get back on track, or go through the storm ahead, as we recognize our mistake and let Him guide us on.
I pray that will be so as we head into the unknown at this time in our history. We don't know where we might be headed as a country, but we can trust that God will help us through whatever deep waters may be ahead, if we put our trust in Him and remember He is the giver of life, liberty and justice. All the powers in the world pale in contrast to His mighty power, and kings have no power but the power they are allowed to have, temporarily.
May God grant us grace and mercy for each day, as we go forward, resting in His hands, and trusting Him with our future.
