“Righteousness Exalts a Nation”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of kings, Lord of lords, Word of God, Lamb of God, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, I honor You and welcome You into my heart and into my day. … “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any nation” (Proverbs 14:34). We the people of our nation made our hearts known in private decisions with public consequences by the votes we cast in ballot boxes across our land yesterday. And now, no matter who was elected in any office—whether Democratic Party, Republican Party, Tea Party, or no Party—we pray now for righteousness to rule and reign in the hearts and minds of every leader who will now represent us and influence the course of our nation. Lord, would You speak to them in the morning when they wake up and in the night when they go to bed; would You put Your thoughts in their minds and Your desires in their hearts; would You draw each one closer to You each day? (Ezra 6:22) How they respond is their choice, but how we pray for them to make righteous choices is our choice. How they choose to lead our nation is their choice, but how long we allow them their place of influence in their elected office is our choice. Let them choose well, and let us choose well. Let righteousness again exalt our nation—first in our own hearts and then in the hearts of those we honor and entrust with the privilege to represent our people and lead our nation toward the fulfillment of Your purposes and our destiny. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
