“In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.”
I have never seen this verse in quite this way before. It may be because there is so much craziness in politics and the news that I’m seeing these days. I have a degree in Political Science so I am always very interested in what is going on and the powers behind it. The fact that God controls the direction of our leaders hearts is not readily apparent in most of what I see and hear. I mean seriously who looks at the craziness and sees God moving in the direction to bless His people. I have lived long enough that I have witnessed the ebb and flow of leaders in our country and even,at times, around the world. Getting above the daily look and taking the long view I can see where God has consistently, at times in a gently flow and other times violently, moved leaders back to the things of God. Maybe not always God Himself but things His people long for. I see glimpses today. Not necessarily from government or even religion but from His leaders in business and communities. Today pray as God is leading our leaders and watch Him work. #BeTheEdge
