Proverbs 21

WEEKEND REFLECTION

Proverbs 21:1 tells us that the king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he wills. 

We all know that this is an election year in the US. And many are anxious about it. Who will be the next US President, and what will that mean for the country, and for me? 

Thankfully, our ultimate hope does not rest in politics or in earthly authority, but in the Lord who is sovereign over all things, even over the “king’s” heart. 

During this election cycle we should do our duty as citizens of the US, and be informed and vote within the framework of our biblical values. But ultimately, we should live as confident citizens of heaven, with our hope in our true and everlasting King.  

PRAY

For the month of June 2024, we will be using meditations on Psalm 23:1-2 for our prayer guide each day.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

“The LORD” – Meditate upon to whom it is you are addressing your prayers. The LORD, the almighty, everlasting, maker, and sustainer of all creation!

“is my” – Meditate upon the truth that you can personally call upon and have loving fellowship with this great and awesome God.

“shepherd” – Meditate upon God’s loving care and grace in your life. As a shepherd cares for, protects, feeds, and guides his sheep, so your God care for you. And Christ calls himself the “Good Shepherd” who laid down his life for his sheep (John 10:11-18).

You can also take some time bring these things before the Lord. 

• Confess your sins. 
• The Lost 
• Your Needs
