God's Plan for Leaders

God's Plan for Leaders

                            “Because of me, kings reign, and rulers make just decrees.                                                           Rulers lead with my help, and nobles make righteous judgments.”      Proverbs 8:15-16

Reading this scripture gave me pause to pray, “Lord God, give us a president that prays and listens to you.”  If the leaders in our government don’t follow God, our troubles become more terrible as time goes on.  We have not had a Godly president for the last 8 years and if something doesn’t change, it will continue another 4 to 8 years.

 

Now I don’t know about the faith of those running our government at the present time; only God knows.  I only know what I see from those in command and I have yet to see anything Godly coming from any of them.  Roman’s 13:3 tells us that government officials, should be ministers and servants of God who punish and restrain wrongdoers and who commend or praise those who do good works.

Proverbs lays is out pretty clearly: Proverbs 17:7 says rulers also should not lie. Proverbs 20:26 says wise rulers always try to punish the wicked. Proverbs 28:2-4 and 29:4 urges rulers to maintain order justly, to follow God’s moral code and to avoid oppressing the poor.  Clearly this isn’t happening in the US. 

Even our former Secretary of State, because of who she is, received no correction for putting our country in danger and ignoring our people who were stationed in other countries.  Looking at some of the reasons Pres. Nixon was impeached were as follows: (1) Making or causing to be made false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States. (2) Withholding relevant and material evidence or information from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States. (3) Approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counseling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings. Sound familiar?  Although she didn’t go to the lengths that Nixon did, her false and misleading statements took away the trust factor.

We need to pray diligently for our next president as well as the vice president.  May God direct their pathways.  Today, President Obama gave a speech and clearly stated that there is nothing wrong in our country and it has a great future.  We have nothing to worry about.  Yet earlier today in Germany terrorists were killing people in their Mall and were still on the loose.  Yesterday in Moscow, Putin set a law that there can be no sharing the Gospel on their streets, in their homes or just speaking to another about it.  What affects the world, affects our nation. 

If you recall a few weeks ago I wrote a 3-part series on “A Breach in the Wall”.  In part 2 I referred to Rev. 6:4 and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, “Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.”  Since that time, people are being slaughtered everywhere and if you don’t yet realize it, “We are at War” around the world.  Our peace has been taken from us, worldwide. If ever you have doubts about Bible prophecy being true, check it out and read it yourself.

You may be sick of reading about the dark side of all of this, but I honestly feel that God is directing me to warn all of you about the things that are happening is preparing us to stand strong, follow the Bibles direction and put our faith in God only.  Our faith cannot be in a president or a leader without moral standing; our faith can be only in God Almighty and in the Bible.


There is an old hymn called “The Solid Rock” and the chorus goes like this. “On Christ, the solid Rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand; All other ground is sinking sand.”
