Think about that for a moment!
God has reserved the right to override the will of a nation's leader, if
need be, to see that His people are governed according to His will.
What's
more, God will hear the prayer of any government leader. Even if he's
the worst reprobate in the whole world. He heard the prayer of old King
Nebuchadnezzar. Believe me, that means He'll listen to any leader!
You
see, Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon. He was an ungodly ruler of an
ungodly nation. However, he'd taken captives from the land of Judah. He
had some of God's people under his authority. So, God began to deal with
him.
Again and again, God warned him, Nebuchadnezzar, you're going to lose your mind if you don't straighten up. And, sure enough, he went just as crazy as could be.
He stayed that way for years too. Then one day he cried out to God and God heard him.
Despite
his status as a heathen king of a heathen nation, God intervened
repeatedly in Nebuchadnezzar's life and heard him when he finally cried
out for help. Why? Because he had God's people under his control!
That same principle still holds true today. If we'll open the way through prayer, God will deal with our leaders!
If
we will humble ourselves in unity and pray, God can change the
injustice and corruption that exist in our country, or any country for
that matter. He'll change the hearts of everyone from the White House on
down to make sure His children are governed justly.
Make it a point to pray for our leaders today!
