At times I wonder if this world can survive until 2024! However, I am also absolutely certain of God’s sovereignty, and His Word tells us to “do business” until He returns! (Luke 19:13) I have always appreciated Nikki Haley’s commitment to walk with the Lord, and her attitude about things. She stood firmly with Israel against the rolling tide in the UN. She knows what is Biblical, she knows Israel’s God-given place in this world, and she isn’t afraid to take a stand! She “does business” in the Kingdom of God, and I want to do that, too! Don’t you?
Biblically, I think of Deborah, the prophetess, who heard God’s Word and shared it with others. Rather than offering sacrifices, she worshiped the Lord. (Judges 4-5) I also think of Esther, a Jewish woman who found favor and saved the Jewish people. She attained royalty “for such a time as this,” in order to save her people. (Esther 4)
Throughout history, God has placed women in unique roles to which He called them and specifically equipped them. It is way too early to pretend to know what will happen in 2020, much less in 2024, but I personally wonder what special assignment God may have for that powerful, yet graceful woman.
Over a year ago, it seemed clear to me that God had further plans for her, and that, perhaps, it could include a run for the presidency. (See Losing Nikki Haley at the UN) Then, only a couple days ago, I saw this:
Friends, I am convinced of this: if Christians don’t take a stand right now and effect change in our country, we are headed off a steep cliff. May I invite you….dare I say, “challenge you”…to join me in a long-term, deep commitment to pray for our leaders? Specifically, will you join me in praying for Nikki Haley and whoever else God may be raising up “for such a time as this?”
What is He raising you and me up to do? Whatever it is, let’s do it! If we do nothing, we will lose our country. If we do what God calls us to do, God will do what only He can! He calls us to pray. Let’s do it…and let’s watch the Lord do amazing things!
Looking for the Blessed Hope 
Reblogged this on Sealed in Christ and commented:
Nikki Haley as POTUS? What a wonderful idea! Not many people these days have the morals, ethics, and fortitude to stand against the growing evil in our world and country like Nikki Haley. Will she run? Who knows at this point. But if she does I for one will vote for her!
Man makes his plans, but God directs his steps, Proverbs 16:9. In the end, only God knows whom He has chosen to lead our country in the coming years, our job is to pray and vote according to what and whom He lays on our hearts. God bless!
I absolutely adore Nikki Haley and would love to see her as POTUS. Honestly, I think she’s the only woman at this present stage in U.S. history that has a better than good chance of being elected if she were to run.
As for what God has for me, I’m trying desperately to figure that out. I know what my spiritual gifts and passions are, but I’m struggling with where and how I should be using them at this present time. This is why I’ve not been posting much lately.. I suppose I’m just feeling a little restless and lost right now. And maybe a little overwhelmed.
God bless. And thanks for posting this encouraging, yet challenging message. 🙂
I agree. She is a uniquely gifted woman. In general, I am not a fan of women in positions of extreme leadership, as I would much rather follow a strong, decisive man. However, throughout Biblical history, when there was not a man to take those roles, God called and equipped strong women. Should He call her to that position, I know He will sustain her as well.
Praying for you, Dee. I know the angst of having desire, but lacking direction and/or opportunity. But be encouraged: there is a place for every believer in God’s sovereign plan. He is preparing you for your next assignment! At the proper time, He will escort you to the threshold of that place and time of service!
Thank you, Kym. I so appreciate your encouragement and insight. God bless!
And thank you so much for prayers. That’s means a lot to me.
