Day Six: God's Desire for Godly Leaders

Select capable men from all the people-men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain.
--Exodus 18:21

Awesome, God:  You are awesome and mighty, lifting up those who You desire to lift up and putting down those You desire to put down.  You love it when Your people come to You with longing for righteousness and godliness. 

As our nation looks to the elections this fall, I ask that You will move among the people of our country, causing us to desire righteous, godly leaders.  May we yearn for godly leaders and, desiring that, may we vote in such a way that we elect at every level those who will honor and obey You in godliness and wisdom.  Amen.
