Trump Inaugurated

I left work early today in order to watch Donald Trump's inauguration. I dare say there are many internet blogs around the world considering this issue right now. I was interested to note the repeated use of the Bible and religious leaders to participate in the ceremony. Although it is true that many a potentate has cynically used religion to support their positions and their power, I still found it refreshing that a world leader would invoke scripture. Apart from our coronation ceremony I can't imagine British leaders ever quoting the Bible.

Despite the protests of people in America and around the world who clearly only like democracy when the outcome goes their way, I pray God's hand upon the new president: that He might restrain him as well as guide him until such time as the Lord returns.
