Leaders

Oliver Cromwell, who took the British throne away from Charles I and established the Commonwealth, said to a friend, “Do not trust to the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.”

That would be true of those leading countries all over the world. The day is coming when God Himself will take the reins. Until that time, have pity on them and pray for them as the Bible commands.

1Timothy 2:2

Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.

Study the forty kings of Israel if you think it’s bad in our present age. It is eye-opening.

If you spent as much time praying for them as criticizing them, you might sleep better and they might change.

Give it some thought.
