Observation: To be clear, we have no proper leadership in our world today. Explicitly, there is not one leader who will take actions that are explicitly aligned to the Lord.
Application: As I say this, I realized ... there is a leader, a king, who is aligned to the Lord. His name is Jesus, alive and powerful, filling all of us with the Holy Spirit of the Lord. The Lord himself is our king, our leader, and he always and forever both does and teaches what is right and correct. The fact that the secondary leaders of this world do not obey is a different matter, and while this fact corrupts our earthly society into terrible acts, it must not cause us to forget the truth.
Jesus reigns. The Lord is on his throne, and he rules the heavens and earth. In every day, we have a king, and it is his commands and precepts we are to obey, for it is also by his mercy and grace and love that we receive all good things.
Prayer: Lord, God almighty, creator of heaven and earth, may your name be praised from the deepest river valleys to the highest mountaintops, and may the whole earth tremble with your justice and authority. I pray for that authority to reign over all the earth now. Let that begin with the protection and deliverance of Israel and the Jews, both those standing in the face of war, and those living in the rest of the world where hatred against them manifests from the heart of satan himself. Then let your deliverance wash over all of us, especially those who believe in Jesus, and those who will come to believe in Jesus. Let us continue to see and feel and hear and know your love and mercy and kindness and salvation, protecting us from the backlash of evil that permeates our society. Lord, you are my king. Jesus, you are my savior. Holy Spirit, you are my strength. Amen.
