An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Long Live the King

Proverbs 25:5 (KJV) Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

We have just gone through a changing of the guard, or at least I hope so.  I am writing this a month ago.  I’m also aware that Donald Trump is not the king.  He is, however, the head of state which is the equivalent.  I think we need to be praying specifically that this verse might somehow impress itself on his mind, even if he never reads it.

Our leadership needs to be purged.  We need the “wicked” (7563) to be removed. We need to have the oval office established in “righteousness” (6664).  If we hope to have a future, this has to happen.  I don’t think that any politician will do this voluntarily or even if he wants to he’ll be able to do it on his own.  He will need the power of God behind him.

So?  Pray that God would find a way to get our leadership focused on righteousness, and serving the God of the universe.  This is a great time to pray without ceasing.
