There are a lot of very hard, and very critical decisions needing to be made by our president in the days ahead in regards to the global pandemic, other countries, and the economy. It won’t matter what he does or says there will be many who are against it. This whole thing has become so hyped and so incredibly blown out of proportion by the media that leading in the midst of it all has to be incredibly difficult. The single most important key is for those who follow Jesus to pray diligently for our President and the rest of our countries leaders that God would lead them to do His will. The Bible instructs us to pray for our leaders;
1 Timothy 2:1-3 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
God is more than powerful enough to guide my president, the Governor of Oregon, the senators and Representatives, and to change their heart where needed, and I believe if enough of God’s people do that God will work, guide, and bless.
Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes.
King Nebuchadnessar was a very powerful, wicked, cruel, and prideful ruler. He led what has been called the most powerful world empire in the history of mankind. He became a main character in the book of Daniel and the prophecies made by God through Daniel revolved around him. The reason is because Daniel prayed diligently for his King, and God turned Nebuchadnezzar’s heart towards Himself;
Daniel 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
