Why I Voted For Trump
A Christian Reflection on Conviction, Stewardship, and Accountability
Someone asked me recently why I voted for Donald Trump. It’s a fair question—one that deserves an honest, prayerful answer, especially as a Christian. The world says faith and politics shouldn’t mix, but I believe faith should guide every area of our lives, including the ballot box.
For me, it’s about leadership that prioritizes the financial health of our nation, strength in international relations, and a commitment to the principles of freedom, accountability, and personal responsibility—values I believe align with biblical truth. I’m not voting for a savior (I already have One). I’m voting for policies that give our country a fighting chance to turn back toward righteousness and away from the chaos we’ve seen unfold.
I also think it’s important to acknowledge something Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said—a quote that’s been on my heart:
“Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice, and it seems I can hear God saying to America: you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I’m God. Men will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, and nations shall not rise up against nations, neither shall they study war anymore. I don't know about you, I ain’t going to study war anymore.”
This is a heavy word, but one we can’t ignore. Dr. King wasn’t condemning strength; he was warning against arrogance. No country—including America—is immune from God’s correction. Proverbs 16:18 warns, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” We are not God’s enforcer; we are His people. And as His people, we are called to humility, justice, and righteousness.
That’s why my vote isn’t about a man’s personality—it’s about principle. Which direction are we headed as a nation? Are we pursuing God’s order, valuing life, defending truth? Or are we spiraling deeper into pride, division, and moral collapse?
I believe Trump’s policies—though imperfect—offer the best chance to redirect this country back to strength through accountability. A secure border isn’t unkind—it’s responsible stewardship. A strong economy isn’t greed—it’s biblical provision for families. Holding individuals accountable for their choices isn’t cruelty—it’s respecting God-given free will and personal responsibility.
Dr. King’s words serve as a reminder: America is not invincible, and if we grow too arrogant, God will humble us. “Be still and know that I am God.” My hope is not in any politician, but in a God who calls His people to humble themselves and seek His face. I voted because I believe it’s my responsibility to stand for righteousness where I can, even if the world doesn’t understand it.
At the end of the day, I know God is sovereign. I will continue to pray for our leaders, our nation, and for revival in our land. My vote is just one small act of stewardship, but my trust is in the One who holds the whole world in His hands.
