Today's Verse from the New Living Translation

The God of Israel spoke.
    The Rock of Israel said to me:
"The one who rules righteously,
    who rules in the fear of God,
is like the light of morning at sunrise,
    like a morning without clouds,
like the gleaming of the sun
    on new grass after rain."

2 Samuel 23:3–4
view in context


Encouragement for Today

What a beautiful picture of someone who governs righteously! We need the new hope described here. Let's pray earnestly and regularly for leaders who will rule in the fear of God: "Lord, raise up leaders who will govern from your wisdom." Closer to home is the leadership you exercise as a church or community leader, parent, or employer: "Lord, equip me to lead wisely, according to your truth."
