Nations, Presidents, and Citizens
Blessings from Every Square Inch!
This month we have the privelege here in America to remember some of our great leaders in our nation's history. Specifically we honor Presidents on President's day. Some of these men include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. From the Text, we read of leader with God's choosing. Many of these leaders had some major mistakes (think Saul, David, Solomon, etc.) but they also followed God for a time. Could this also be said of our leaders today? Many are following God but many who have followed God have tripped up.
How do we respond to failures in leadership or even failure in the lives of our leaders that have been following God? I propose we respond in the same way that we would for our fellow brothers and sisters. We must come along side these leaders and help restore them. This is an example of discipleship in action. Men and women like you and I, citizens in the Kingdom of God, must come along side and say, "Imitate me as I imitate Jesus."
Pray for our leaders today. Pray that they would seek the Kingdom of God. Pray for God's Spirit to fill them and empower them that they may obey God.
Soli Deo Gloria,
