Seeking A Leader
But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you. 1 Samuel 13:14, AMPC
Scripture says we are to pray for our leaders, and we are to pray for a righteous leader. It tells us that when we have a wicked leader the whole country will be led into wickedness. I was seeking God in prayer about the leaders of our country and who I am to vote for. I can’t tell truth from lies no matter what commentator I read; everything has a slant towards an opinion. So this morning God led me to the final words of King David, who was a righteous king, a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22).
“Now these are the last words of David son of Jesse says, and the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, says, The Spirit of the Lord spoke in and by me, and His word was upon my tongue. The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me, when one rules over men righteously, ruling in the fear of God, He dawns on them like the morning light when the sun rises on a cloudless morning, when the tender grass springs out of the earth through clear shining after rain. Truly does not my house stand so with God? For He has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For will He not cause to prosper all my help and my desire? But wicked, godless, and worthless lives are all like thorns to be thrust away, because they cannot be taken with the hand. But the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire on the spot” (2 Samuel 23:1-7).
Heavily Father, ELOHIM,
The creator of this universe, you know the hearts of all men. You removed King Saul because he was wicked and would not follow your commands. You found David, a man after your own heart to lead your people into righteousness and honor of you. We are at a time of seeking a leader, we have no idea of the heart of a man except by his actions. I pray that you will open our spiritual eyes and ears so we can hear from you, whom you have anointed for such a time as this so that we can have a righteous leader after your heart like King David. In Jesus’ name, amen.
