AP, CNN, NBC, BBC all calling the election for Joe Biden after he goes up over 30K votes in Pennsylvania. President-Elect with 273 EC.

Kamala Harris is now the first woman VP-Elect of the US. History made there. https://twitter.com/jpacedc/status/1325112520642883584
2/ Praying for peace, that we can heal as a nation. We all have a lot of work to do to repair our common bonds and be Americans together. We’re a long way from that.

Lots of reconciliation and healing needed in the church, too. Divisions are deep, but our unity is in Christ.
3/ We need to listen to each other, understand each other’s fears and concerns, stop blaming and attacking each other, and find ways to love our neighbor and perceived enemy. Christians are to be reconcilers and peacemakers. We are also to be people of truth. We can do both.
4/ When Trump was elected, I said we should give him a chance to lead and pray for him. I prayed for him regularly. I also disagreed with him. I’ll disagree with Biden too. But, we need to pray for him just like we prayed for Trump and Obama and Bush and Clinton ...
5/ And back to this from yesterday from @esaumccaulley: May the church fulfill its prophetic role of not being partisan, but of holding up what is right and biblical and opposing what is wrong. Our leaders NEED the church to be salt & light, to season, preserve, and illuminate. https://twitter.com/esaumccaulley/status/1323996786281877504
6/ I didn’t support nor oppose Biden during election b/c my concern isn’t w/ who wins election. My concern isn’t power, but right action, truth, justice in ldrshp. Now that Biden is Pres, he should get praise for doing good and opposition when he does wrong. Praying for the good.
7/ “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Jeremiah 29:7

Praying the church continues to embrace this work locally and across the country as we hold out the gospel.
8/ And finally, from a national perspective, I do hope that having a split govt w/ a Dem president, GOP Senate, Dem House, and 6-3 conservative SCOTUS will limit extremism on both sides and renew compromise, healing, and bipartisan solutions, protecting all. Praying for wisdom.
