The sun is beginning to set on a truly historic day in America. I keep in prayer President Biden, Vice President Harris, their families, and our country.
And I pray also for President Trump, Vice President Pence, and their families as well. As Lincoln said at his Second Inauguration, "with malice towards none; with charity for all" we know that "to bind up the nation's wounds" requires much of us in the way of magnanimity and character. This is our noblest call, as we seek to make "a just, and lasting peace, among ourselves and with all nations."
What justice requires will no doubt be considered in the days ahead. But for this evening it is important to remember that the sun will rise on everyone tomorrow, and that this is a part of the providence and grace God gives to all people, everywhere.
God is our peace; and "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God."
