Reading: 1 Timothy 2-3, 2 Samuel 6, 1 Chronicles 15, Psalm 122
Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-2, First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way
Observation: Here in the United States one of the most common pastimes is complaining about the government and the leadership of the country. We complain that the those we have elected are not doing what they said, we complain that who we voted for didn’t get into office or any other variety of things that are not to our liking.
Application: But how often to we take them to God in prayer. We need to be constantly lifting up our leaders in payers, no mater if they are believers or not or we agree with them or not, God placed them in a place of leadership for a reason. We need to pray for their wisdom and their discernment in the situations that they are dealing with.
Prayer: Father I thank you for those whom you have given authority and leadership of country and state. I lift us all those who are currently in office, grant them wisdom and discernment in all situation. Lord I also ask that you be with those who are in the mist of the election season and lead them and give them the words to say.
