Please read Proverbs 21.
Meditate on verses 1 and
31.
The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD;
He turns it wherever He wishes.
The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but victory belongs to the LORD.
Good governance is an
important goal for countries. It benefits the population if the laws are fair
and justly applied, if trade is allowed to flourish, and if there are human
freedoms for people to direct their own lives.
In 1 Timothy 2:2, Paul
called believers to pray for their leaders. Pray “for kings and all who are in
authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all Godliness and
dignity.“
Christians need to be
praying for the LORD’s intervention in so many places around the world. He is
more powerful than any country or any ruler. Ask Him to make the hearts of the
rulers of your nation like His heart. Ask His blessings on rulers who are just
and trying to serve the people under their care or authority.
One may have the most
powerful military in the region, but victory is for the LORD to decide.
As a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7), pray Proverbs 21:1, 31, and 1 Timothy 2:2 over your
leaders.
“LORD, the heart of is like a
channel of water in Your hand.
Turn their heart the way You wish.
Their horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but the victory belongs to You.
Let us lead a tranquil and quiet life in all Godliness and dignity.
In Your name, Jesus~”
