Daily Prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Elections over and now we need to pray for these leaders that they make Godly choices. We need to remember all the people God put in power and those he allows to gain power because it all is for his glory ultimately. I don't see it alot of times but I don't get a vote in Gods will. God's will is sovereign and infallible, we are not. Here's some thoughts that should keep our perspective and keep us humble but sure.

Romans 12:3-21
For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. "But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
NAS

That's alot to grab a hold of but it is necessary for us to persevere as Christians. Pray for the strength to maintain that vision with deeds that follow those principles. Lida Van-Dyke is doing well! Thanks be to God!

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and wisdom. Lord help us see exactly what is going on around us and help us help those in need. Lord we lift our new leaders to you as you commanded. Let them see your vision in all they do. Lord thank you for this country that allows us to talk openly about your grace and love, in Jesus' name, amen
