Seeking His Glory in Evangelizing All Peoples
Seek God…to be recognized and honored by leaders.
Seek God On Behalf of Government Leaders
As Christians we are to serve and honor our Lord in all we do, and seek to glorify Him. Our thoughts and behaviors in the political and governmental realm are included in that. How easy it is to jump on the media bandwagon – conservative or liberal – and use our voices to tear down politicians whose views don’t agree with ours. How many emails do you receive each week, forwarding a cartoon, column or essay berating a politician or the government? And how many times do we forward this type of material along to others! I can only imagine how my heart and mind would be transformed if I spent the time I waste on watching political television programs or listening to radio talking heads, praying for those government officials instead! And I mean truly caring about and praying for their salvation! And for Christians in government, praying that their hearts would always make decisions that line up with Scripture and that they would be infused with the power of the Holy Spirit to be Godly leaders in their public and private lives. When I wonder just how involved believers should be in government – and the opinions are vast – I know that prayer is the type of involvement that the Lord always views as right!
