Re:Verse passage – 2 Chronicles 6:1-11 (day three)
“The king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel.”
Will a person who holds power in a society work for the good of all the people in that society? That’s always the hope, isn’t it? What often ends up happening, though, is that the powerful people in a society support the one who will keep them powerful, and that person then works for the good of only some rather than all. Throughout history, the Lord has raised up people to speak truth to power. But for now, here’s power speaking truth to the people. Speaking the truth involves more than the right words; it’s also righteous actions for the good of all people. For a shining moment, it actually happened. Then Solomon abandoned the truth. He used his power to weaken and destabilize an entire nation. Leaders matter.
Godly leadership CAN turn our nation back to God. This is our daily prayer.
Amen. We need a Godly leader.
Excellent incite and truth. Thank you.
