Prayer Request.

Posted bySteven WalesPosted inwisdomTags:, ,

I need wisdom. Don’t you? Don’t we all? Our leaders really need wisdom during this quarantine of 2020. All the decisions they are making are based on predictions about the virus and what the future holds. But there are so many factors that influence those predictions—accurate reporting, inaccurate reporting, good science, bad science, emotions and public opinion (whether right or wrong).

We need God to give us an accurate, clear understanding of the times, of what lies ahead, and of what He is doing in the world.

The Bible speaks of men with that kind of God-given wisdom in a little-known verse about the descendants of the tribe of Issachar:

“From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Join me in praying for two things:

  1. That you and I and our leaders would “UNDERSTAND THE TIMES,” and
  • That you and I and our leaders would “KNOW THE BEST COURSE FOR [the USA] TO TAKE.”

Dear God, give us wisdom. Please help us and our leaders to understand what You are doing in the world and to know the best decisions for our people to take. Keep us safe, and draw us closer to You.

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
