sun and moon and rain
Psalm 72:5-7 (JDV)
Psalm 72:5 May they fear you while the sun endures and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
Psalm 72:6 May the king be like rain that falls on the cut grass, like spring showers that water the land.
Psalm 72:7 May the righteous one flourish in his days and well-being abound until the moon is no more.
sun and moon and rain
We can pretty much rely on the sun and the moon to be there for us, and the spring showers are going to make an appearance. The psalmist is praying for his king to be as reliable as that.
We all need leaders to be reliable. Praying for our leaders to be reliable and trustworthy is a very healthy practice.
LORD, give us presidents and prime ministers who are as reliable as the sun and the moon.
