1 Chronicles 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people. (NLT)

Politicians are ambitious individuals. Ambition is good when it is aimed in the right direction. Look for those who lead like King David. He did “what was just and right for all his people.”

Just points to what is morally right and fair.

Right points to what is morally good or acceptable.

King David did what was just and right for all his people.

Our current political parties, and the interest groups within them, are not all that interested in doing what is just and right for everyone everywhere. They quite often want Lady Justice to tilt the scales in one direction or the other. They want money without accountability to flow in particular directions. They want grace and favor for their preferred miscreants.

We can do better than this. We must do better than this.

Consider current events. Who are the men and women of character and wisdom who can help lead us out of the mess we have made? Who will do what is just and right for everyone everywhere? How can we rationalize supporting anyone who will not lead in this manner?

This is a good day to turn to 1 Timothy 2:1-4 and use it to shape our prayers. Ask God to raise up leaders who will do what is just and right for all people everywhere. Seek God’s wisdom on behalf of those leaders. Thank God for good government and good leaders. Ask God to bless us with leaders who will work toward peace and quiet, safety and dignity.

I will pray for leaders who will do what is just and right for everyone everywhere.

Our Father, please bless us with the leaders we need and not the leaders we deserve. Raise up leaders of integrity and character. Provide us with leaders we can support without fear or worry about what they will say or do. Give us leaders who will do what is right and just for all people everywhere. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
