Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Jeremiah 6:16 World English Bible
Reflection
Decision-makers face constant pressure to adopt prevailing cultural trends and short-term political fixes that conflict with timeless truth. When leaders align their choices with passing opinions rather than divine wisdom, governance loses moral clarity. Seeking God's guidance requires humility, spiritual clarity, and the courage to resist unhelpful societal patterns. Interceding for those who govern means asking for leaders who value biblical integrity above temporary approval. May those in authority receive wisdom to discern righteous paths, honour truth, and guide communities with enduring integrity.
Prayer
Pray for discernment, that we would not be friends with the world’s ways, but would walk in the Lord’s paths.
