His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord...
What a description!! Wouldn't it be wonderful to be remembered as someone who's heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. Not just that you were courageous but that you were bold n following God's ways amid a kingdom and world that couldn't agree with you less...what a difficult task!
But much like a father is called to boldly lead his family, so to are kings called to boldly lead their people. Their power is indeed fickle and fleeting...you can see that in Israel's history. Some kings have long successful reigns some short and laughable. God grants power to whom he sees fit and He takes it from those who don't deserve it. All authority comes from Him. Big or small.
Lord, grant our leaders the courage to follow your ways. Let fear be far from them as they boldly seek You. Let me also be courageous in Your ways all the days of my life. I want to never fear where You are going.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
