Our world is as decayed as any point in the history of mankind. Not an era exists that our current fall from morality doesn’t equal — or possibly even surpass. So, we, Christians, are raising our prayers to our Heavenly Father, imploring Him to send us a leader who can guide our world back to Him and restore generations old Judeo/Christian values in the lives of Americans
Recently, while, myself, praying this plea, God opened my perspective and understanding. He infused me with the awareness that America is not in need of a good leader, but rather, a good follower. What we truly need and long for is not the humans who pompously brag about their capability to lead, but one who humbly surrenders his ability over to following God’s will and way.
What we are seeing (and how we arrived at current immorality) is the product of our leaders convinced their power and knowledge is the answer, while never questioning if they are fulfilling God’s purpose and wisdom for them. Those who, today, proclaim they can lead us seem overly confident that they know the right, new and different laws and decisions to make. On the contrary, shouldn’t we be seeking out a candidate who knows God as his leader and desires to follow our Creator’s age-old commandments and course to guide mankind back to God’s peace and prosperity? Is this a time for a flock of boasting, know-it-all, worldly stars to reign in command or one who seeks God, believing God alone can rein in the evil overcoming our world?
There’s not a doubt in my soul that all Christians are praying to be delivered from the evil surrounding us. However, the question is for this to be granted, must we be praying for a leader or a follower?
