Emzap, I apologize if I'm being thick, but could you please clarify how "we have the power and responsibility to make America what we want it to be"; yet, according to the above post, "all authority is in place because God has put him or her there". Thanks, sir.

This doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with everything he does or stands for, but it means treating him like a human being who has been chosen as a leader. People make up society. We are the people. We have the power and responsibility to make America what we want it to be. We don't need to rely on the government to tell us how to act.

I believe that no matter what happens with this country, it is in God's hands. All authority is in place because God has put him/her there. But God does allow and use suffering. We grow the most not in the easy times but in the hard times. I don't know whats going to happen with Trump as president. But no matter what happens, I find hope not in this Earth, but in Christ Jesus, and in my eternal home in Heaven with Him.
