DAY 5: Monday, October 5
TOPIC: Upcoming Elections
SCRIPTURE: “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.” Proverbs 21:1
OBSERVATION: Proverbs reminds us that no leader is beyond God’s reach or outside His sovereignty. Elections place people in positions of authority, but God remains the ultimate ruler. Our confidence is not in a candidate, party, or political process. We can trust God to direct the hearts of those who lead.
PRAYER: Father, as we reach election day, we acknowledge that You are sovereign over every leader and outcome. Give us wisdom as we vote and guard our hearts from fear, anger, and division. Direct the hearts of those elected so that they govern with justice, mercy, humility, and integrity. Give them wisdom to make decisions that honor what is right and serve the people entrusted to them. Protect our communities from violence, deception, and hatred, and help us pursue peace even when we disagree. Keep Your Church faithful to its calling, remembering that our allegiance is to Jesus and our hope is not found in politics. Lord, ruler over those who rule, guide those who vote, and let Your purposes be accomplished. In Jesus’ name.
