Republican and Democrat presidential hopefuls for the 2012

Both the Republican and Democrat presidential hopefuls for the 2012 election
are back hitting the campaign trail hard today following the disaster in the
Northeast earlier this week. I know they're both concerned about the folks
there, but with only a few days left to solicit votes, they have to be back
out telling us, the American people, why they should be the next President
of the United States. Who can blame them?

Today's devotional is no different than the past three days. We'll consider
a question, a Scripture, and a prayer.

Question:
I recently heard that there's never been a time in recent history where
there's been a greater chance that citizens could be robbed, or even
murdered. I wonder, is that because our society has become increasingly
tolerant on crime and punishing evildoers? Sir, if you're to be the next
President, what will be your position on crime and consistent justice for
wrong doing?

Scripture:

"A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with
his eyes" (Pro. 20:8).
"A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them" (Pro.
20:26).

Prayer:
Father in heaven. Thank you for your Word that serves as a guiding principle
for right and wrong, and justice. Father, thank you for teaching us that our
elected leaders are to lift up good works, and bring the sword down on evil.
It is our prayer that the next President will be convicted to lead in his
office in the areas of work that you prescribe. In Jesus' name. Amen.
