We Can Always Pray!!

²¹ Trouble pursues the sinner,
    but the righteous are rewarded with good things.

²² A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,
    but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.

²³ An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
    but injustice sweeps it away.

²⁴ Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
    but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

²⁵ The righteous eat to their hearts’ content,
    but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.

The righteous eat until their hearts content.  We get to eat of the grace and mercies of our King every day.  We get to partake in the food of our souls that fills us to overflowing with His living water.  KJV says, “The righteous eateth to the satisfying (abundance , fullness) of their soul.”   Sigh, isn’t that just an amazing thought to just get lost in today? That His loving kindness refreshes and renews each morning. We can partake, and partake and partake- filling our hearts and our minds with Him.

The stomach (the seat of hunger and mental faculties)  of the wicked goes hungry (to be without).  Those that are hostile towards God do not know of His nature and of His grace.  His mercies that are fresh each morning are not seen by the wicked.  Imagine the parched, dry bones that exist without living water.

We can pray for those that are hostile towards God.  They are still His children, and He loves them and desires that they come into relationship. We can pray for our leaders, that they come to eat fully of the goodness of the Lord.  We can pray for our candidates that they know and revela the nature of God in all that they do.  We can pray for those that surround our candidates, that they would be God fearing men and women and that they would have the ears of the higher ups, to speak truth and wisdom into their ears.  We can pray that the schemes of the enemy would fall apart, rather than take root within our governmental systems.

We can always pray!
