SCRIPTURE PASSAGE OF THE DAY
1 Timothy 2:1-4
Life Application Bible
1.Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.
2. Pray in this way for kings and all others who are in authority over us, or are in places of high responsibility, so that we can live in peace and quietness, spending our time in godly living and thinking much about the Lord.
3. This is good and pleases God our Savior
4. For he longs for all to be saved and to understand this truth
In this passage Paul is giving instructions to the church. He tells them to pray for others. These instructions also apply to each of us today. We should be found praying not only selfish prayers just for ourselves and our families but for others. Just as we need God's love and mercy so do our neighbors, friends and even strangers. Then Paul encourages the church to pray for Kings and those who are in authority. This today would cover our President, his cabinet members, governors and those who are in high political places as well as our church leaders. Paul says when we do this, pray for leaders, God is pleased.
