Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
Proverbs 28:4 World English Bible
Reflection
Officers on patrol and judges in courtrooms carry out essential duties that protect communities from chaos and injustice. When governing authorities uphold consistent legal standards without favour or prejudice, citizens experience safety, stability, and trust. Ask God to grant courage and integrity to police officers, prosecutors, and elected leaders. May those who enforce and shape our legal system act with impartiality, wisdom, and respect for justice, ensuring equal protection for every neighbour.
Prayer
Pray for law enforcement and our government leaders that we would remain a nation that conforms to the rule of law.
