PEOPLE OF DISTINCTION
A lot of people sit back and complain about who has been elected into office. Although it may make us feel better to vent, it isn't going to change the way things are. What will help and have a major impact on things praying for our leaders...teachers, police officers, judges, governors, councilmen, president, senators etc...YES, PRAY FOR THEM! All those in a leadership capacity. It doesnt matter how many students passed or failed, it doesn't matter how many arrests were made or tickets were written. No matter how great the debates went, or how much funding that backed them.....their successes boil down to one fact...Without the main supporter of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, their jobs will be very hard indeed.
As it says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me."
Also the Bible instructs us to pray for those in authority.
It states in Deuteronomy 16:18: "After you are settled in the towns that you will receive from the LORD your God, the people in each town must appoint judges and other officers. Those of you that become judges must be completely fair when you make legal decisions, even if someone important is involved. Don't take bribes to give unfair decisions. Bribes keep people who are wise from seeing the truth and turn honest people into liars."
