Godly Leaders
Even before the sons of Israel entered Canaan, Moses gave them the Lord's will for the king they would ask for in the future. God commanded that each new king would write out by his own hand a copy of the law on a scroll, so he could read it all of his days. He was told to do this with a Levitical priest watching him to insure he knew God's law correctly and wrote it down correctly. (Deuteronomy 17:14,18) Isn't that amazing?
What if all of our congressmen and our presidents, as well as, all of our elected officials had to do this? I believe it would be a humbling experience to realize God's laws are higher than man's laws. They would see that God blesses those who keep His laws, and they would be enlightened to know God's Word, so they could keep it. In fact, it might be good for each of us, as citizens to do the same thing.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Deuteronomy 18-20.
