Thought for the day!
I am here in Ukraine and I looked at the calendar near my desk at work and saw that today is Election Day in the States. I know as Christians we are called to pray for the leaders who are over us but sometimes it’s hard to know exactly how to pray for them, especially not knowing them personally. Should that stop me????
As I continued to think about this, I realized that a good place to start praying is for what they need. Every leader (regardless of country, state or position) could use an extra dose of God’s wisdom for the challenges and decisions they face. In addition to wisdom, prayer for integrity—for honesty and uprightness in their actions and freedom from deceit would be an important request. Prayer that they would have a genuine commitment to doing what is best for those who are under their authority and asking God to give them humility that will enable them to use their power not for their own gain but for the good of the people would be a refreshing change from the media reports we hear. Prayer that godly people will be in their circle of influence and prayer that they will come to know Christ as Savior could be included.
Aren’t these the very things we all need? Ummm!
Go Out And Vote! Our right and very dear privilege. Don't take it for granted.
5 things I am thankful for….
- That God has established governments for our good
- We are under His authority
- More flurries between the sunshine
- That my stomach growling before lunch did not scare the children or my co-workers
- For plumbing that works [the water was turned off at school today]
Day 6/30
