President’s Day

Today is President’s Day — and there is no better day to remember the words of 1 Timothy 2:1-2:
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
Pray for our President — the leaders of all nations — all lawmakers (Democrat of Republican) — indeed — “all who are in authority” — that their decisions may reflect the will of God.
I like what this post at the Pulpit Magazine Blog suggests:
Instead of listening to political talk radio today, getting angry at this politician or that policymaker, why not spend those same moments praying for the government officials that God has placed over us? If Paul could pray for his leaders (including guys like Nero), we certainly have no excuse for neglecting to pray for ours.
