I have never been interested in politics. I have never voted in my life. Politics was never really discussed in my family growing up or in my circles of friends. What little exposure I did have was quickly met with boredom as soon as I saw the suit at the mic with his beaming smile and making promises he probably wasn’t going to keep. So that’s my non-background background on politics.
Then one day my husband was watching Trump on TV giving a speech and I was in another room. I passed by and heard a little of what he said. He talked about things he wanted to do if he was elected President and I was floored! I was floored because as he was speaking, I noticed that everything he said lined up with scriptures. He talked about:
• Creating Jobs
…And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. 1 Thess 4:11-12
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is notwilling to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. 2 Thess 3:10-12
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. Ps 128:2
• Building a Wall
From ancient times until today, we have borders which protect the citizens. The bible, especially the Old Testament is filled with examples of borders, boundaries, and walled cities – too many to reference here.
• Better deals for America/Fair Treatment
The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales, but He delights in accurate weights. Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people. Prov 11:1-3
• Pro law enforcement and justice
Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. Lev 19:15
Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Prov. 31:9
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! Ps 106:3
This is just a few of the issues that he stands for that are biblically based which was enough to get my attention. I continued to watch him as time passed and I was amazed that the things he was saying lined up with scripture. I saw that he was selfless and put others first. I saw that he promoted fairness for all Americans in different situations such as taxes and health care. I saw that he wasn’t perfect; that he had some faults like King David did yet God used him greatly. And one of the greatest things is that he is a strong supporter of Israel. It was for all of these reasons and more that I saw God working 
through him. As times passes and as I see everyone come against him and yet he prevails – against all odds and in miraculous fashion, I am convinced that God is going before him. No one man could withstand all of the dirty tricks, lies, deception, and collusion and survive it yet President Trump’s base is stronger than ever and growing in spite of what the media tells you. I see God’s promise in Gen 12:3 being played out: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;” (speaking of Israel).
So there you have it. Not everyone will agree with me and that’s ok. I’m simply sharing what I see and recognize that most of Trump’s issues are rooted in the bible. Subsequent posts will be geared more towards the things going on now and what I think is happening ‘behind the scenes’ in the spiritual realm.
p.s. I will not approve any inflammatory remarks so if you want your comment to be seen, then play nicey nice. 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Boldly Proclaiming Christ 
Carol, I appreciate your article. Though I may have different opinions concerning President Trump, I will agree that God has called and put him into the Office of the Presidency. Could it be that God has put him into office because He wants to use him concerning His purposes for Israel? David served God’s purpose in his generation. I am sure that President Trump, no matter all the differing opinions about him, will serve God’s purpose, especially his support for Israel, in this generation. I look forward to your next article.
Hi Steve, Yes. I think Trump was chosen in part due to his love for Israel. David was the most unlikeliest person to be chosen for king. Remember, he was in the field and not even considered among his brothers for the position. But God chose him. Likewise, Trump was the most unlikeliest of candidates. He was ridiculed, mocked, and not taken seriously until election night. I’m not comparing Trump to King David even though it seems that way. I say these things to emphasize that ‘the last will be first and the first last.’ This recurring theme we see in the bible of Jesus choosing the lowly, humble people over the religious giants; how the meek will inherit the earth etc. God shows favor to the widows and orphans – those who are vulnerable to the wolves around them. And thematically we the people are tied in with this in that our government has gone rogue and has done many things against us the ‘vulnerable’ or ‘deplorables.’ The themes are there. So yes, I think Trump was chosen not only for his love for Israel, but for his love for Americans and people everywhere. He extends a helping hand to anyone that he can but most people don’t now this due to the media blackout. Thanks for stopping by Steve. 🙂
Throw away your wishful thinking. He will not keep his word. Relying on politicians is like a bad tooth or a lame foot. God has chosen him to destroy this nation. The unfaithful can not save a nation, bottom line.
No one is like King David or King Solomon and never will be. They’re so much better than Donald Duck in the White House.
Hello Dennis, You, and many others say that ‘he will not keep his word’ but the evidence is to the contrary. Here is a list of his accomplishments in his first 100 days – something the media wants to keep from us. https://www.whitehouse.gov/100-days
I do agree with you in that we are not to rely on politicians or any man and I don’t. Donald Trump is not our Savior. But I do see him as tool used by God for His purposes. I don’t think his agenda is to destroy this nation – that is what Hillary wanted with her global agenda. I don’t think people realize the overwhelming number of crimes committed by Hillary, Obama, FBI, CIA etc. which we have evidence and proof of but those that are supposed to serve justice are guilty as well. These people aren’t going to investigate and prosecute themselves. The problem is that this information isn’t getting out through mainstream media but they are putting forth lies which are verified. (which is why CNN has multiple lawsuits against them and NBC is in danger of losing their broadcast license) Anyway, this isn’t about the left vs the right – it’s about darkness vs the light. What we see in the physical is just a manifestation of what’s going on the spiritual realm. There is a war going on in the heavenlies right now. Thanks for stopping by Dennis. And I like Donald Duck. 🙂
I don’t necessarily mean he’ll destroy the nation on purpose. I mean his smooth move actions and/or words will spoil his presidency quickly and pierce the nation with more holes even further for his predecessor and for the voters to deal with on their own. That is how the nation is in such bad shape today. I got a nifty computer Bible that tells me he is the typical misruler because him and so many others let alone Hillary are not fit to rule the way God wills it. On that note, the nations will ultimately be ruled by Jesus himself from Jerusalem, Israel. I do not support nor promote man’s standard way to rule whether it be in the home or the world itself.
Hello Dennis, I’m not going to argue with you there about what Trump might do in the future. I say this not because of Trump himself but because of fallen human nature. My thinking is this – ultimately, man will let you down but not the Lord. People get devastated when they are betrayed by a loved one or family member but we must remember that they too are sinful creatures. Ultimately, our government, and any other government is not what God had in mind. God wants a Torah-based society and the Israelites had that until they wanted a king like the nations. So God gave them kings and let man rule man but as we can see, it’s not sufficient and not even Trump can change that. I look forward to the day when ALL governments will be brought low and Yeshua is reigning from Jerusalem. I only support Trump because I see God working through him. If the ‘God factor’ wasn’t there, then I’d have no interest whatsoever. 🙂
