The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will. – Proverbs 21:1
Today’s verse reminds you of the sovereignty of God over the hearts and decisions of earthly rulers. Just as a stream of water can be redirected by the skilled hand of an aqueduct manager, God has the power to guide and influence the hearts of kings and leaders according to His divine plan. As you journey through the uncertainties of life and witness the actions of governing officials, you can take comfort in the knowledge that God holds the ultimate authority. You are called to trust in His wisdom and providence, even when circumstances seem daunting or when leaders’ decisions appear inexplicable. Through prayer by faith, you can be confident that God will accomplish His purposes, bringing about His will in both your life and the world at large. Be encouraged to cultivate a deep trust in the Lord’s sovereignty and acknowledge that His mighty hand guides the course of history.
As the Lord leads, pray with us…
- For the Lord to draw the hearts of America’s governing officials to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
- For believers who serve in public office to stand boldly for the Lord in faith.
