When considering the history of the kings of God’s people, it is apparent that the enduring quality of the good kings is that they honored the Lord and kept his commands. Other accomplishments pale in comparison.

Leaders should take note that God will accomplish much more through godliness than through personal ability and ambition.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, You are our great leader, and we trust in the strength of Your assistance.

DAILY READING: 2 Kings 10-13
