“Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, 20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.
What a fitting reminder to all leaders. The king, president or head of any people, should be a man personally and intimately acquainted with the Word of God. How wise that the king should himself copy for himself the laws and statutes of the Lord. At this time of election in our country I can only pray that the man who will occupy the White House will become a man of this book.
Lord - may our leaders and presidents be men of this book. Drive them to know Your ways and live into Your law. Amen.

Collective prayer, if we can all pray continually for our country, our world, our families, and especially for our leader, especially Pres Bush. He has had more than his share of problems going into office, and is leaving a huge mess for the next one.
Please know that I join you each and every day in pray for the I know that only with God, all things are possible!
