It would be impossible for me not to write something about the American elections.
After 18 months of mudslinging and controversies, Donald Trump will be the next American president. Around the world some are disappointed and some are very happy. World financial markets have been shaken and international forces are uncertain. This whole story shows us that the world is in a shifting phase.
The known, the historical and the predictable are now in the past.
But truth be told, the result of an election, as any other event in our lives, could be either a blessing or a curse. The problem is that what looks like a curse today may be a big blessing tomorrow. And what could be interpreted as a blessing today could be a curse tomorrow.
Two-thousand years ago the disciples of Jesus must have thought the arrest, trial and crucifixion of our Lord were a bad thing. But with hindsight, it is easy to see that Jesus’ arrest, trial and crucifixion have had an amazing impact on all of us.
So if your situation today looks as if all is lost, keep trusting God that in the future his will can be seen in your life.
God bless South Africa!
