leaders who glorify God

Psalm 72:18-20 (JDV)

Psalm 72:18 Blessed be Yahveh God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
Psalm 72:19 Blessed be his glorious name forever; the whole land is filled with his glory. Amen and amen.
Psalm 72:20 The prayers of David son of Jesse are concluded.

leaders who glorify God

This section serves as a fit conclusion to this entire collection of psalms, but it is especially fitting here. The psalmist had been praying for the king, but he concludes with a plea for God to be glorified in the whole land. Our leaders are just men and women. Their glory cannot be our ultimate aim. We need to pray for our leaders so that God can be glorified through their actions, so they can reflect his character.

LORD, give us leaders who seek to glorify your name.
