Lent
– Day 36 – Wait upon the Lord.
Without wise leadership, a nation falls;
there is safety in having many advisers. Proverbs 11:14
Ideally the way our government is set up it
appears to be very wise. The President has many advisors. But that doesn’t guarantee
that things will go well…that the President is receiving good advice from his
Cabinet or that he is even following their advice. Wise leadership is hard to
choose and that is just what the voters in the US are beginning to do for our
next President. Wisdom. Ah—that would be such a blessing for our nation. No one
can disagree that wisdom in needed in our leaders. Would anyone suggest
otherwise—that we should have unwise leadership—fools as leaders? Somehow, although we don’t deliberately choose such people, fools have been known to be
leaders either in the White House or Congress. Let’s hope that in this coming
election we don’t have any fools chosen. Fools
base their thoughts on foolish assumptions, so their conclusions will be wicked
madness; they chatter on and on. No one really knows what is going to happen; no
one can predict the future. Ecclesiastes 10:13-14. Listen closely to the politicians
chatter. Is anyone showing respect for anyone…even themselves, as they try to
put their best foot forward? Wisdom is needed for our country to remain strong…and
not to fall.
Prayer
~ Lord God, guide the hearts and minds of the politicians who are clamoring for
attention as they vie to receive the responsibility of serving our nation. Give
them wisdom that they can provide the leadership that is needed to guide our
nation in a manner that will give You honor.
