The Leader every nation needs

Read 2 Samuel 23.

These are the last writings of David in this book.  He heard from the LORD principles concerning leadership.

What does leadership look like if it is just and done in a way that understands there is accountability to God?
1. It is like a new day dawning.  A fresh start with lots of light on every place.
2. It is like the sun shining on a perfect day.  Everyone enjoys it.
3. It is like a good rain that waters everything for growth.

The opposite is true when leadership is unjust and ungodly.  There is darkness and many things taking place unexposed.  It is not a happy time.  Prosperity is stagnated.

David's testimony of his leadership was: "Does not my house stand so with God?"  May that be the testimony of all our nations' leaders.

"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."  Proverbs 14:34
