The day after a presidential election tends to leave people with this question, “Where do we go from here?”

For those whose candidate was elected there is a sense of promise and hope for better days ahead.

For those whose candidate was not elected there is a sense of wonder and doubt filled with confusion.

Leadership can be interesting in an arena where leaders are elected versus being appointed.

The beauty of spiritual leadership is based in our knowing exactly where we go from here. Regardless of who sits in secular or political leadership, we must continue to press forward in leading others to Christ. Only here do we find the true reality of promise and hope for better days ahead.

When we understand the temporary nature of our physical existence, we begin to realize our time can be well spent looking toward the throne of heaven, rather than the throne of a country.

God promises to carry out His will concerning the governing authorities.

God needs leaders within His church to stand up for the cause of Christ and point others to the glorious reward awaiting the faithful.
