Of Nations and Kings?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for world leaders that they would know you are in control. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Some cable news outlets offer extensive coverage of international affairs. BBC World News and other channels offer programming that covers and reports on the decisions made by world leaders.
Psalm 33:10-12 (ESV) has something to say about who is really in control:
“The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”
Later in Psalm 33:16-17 (ESV) the psalmist has more to say about those on the world stage:
“The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.”
Pray government leaders and royalty turn to Christ and pay homage to Almighty God.
