Morning Prayer
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Inspiration
The act of choosing a leader is an important endeavor. Leaders are selected by committees, votes, or by an individual. Our choices have a negative or positive impact on those they will oversee. Scripture guides us in all decision-making and advises us to choose leaders who fear the Lord, speak the truth, and despise evil. Although we may be able to detect these qualities on the outside, we must turn to the Lord for guidance in choosing the person He wills for authority.
Prayer
Dear Lord, When You place us in positions to select leaders, we ask that You guide us during our selection process. We seek to choose our leaders based on Your plan. In Jesus' name, Amen.
