Greetings 👋
Leaders matter! Although God uses different kinds of men to fulfill his destiny for nations, He has been quite explicit about what I needed for nations to thrive.
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” Proverbs 13:34.
Unfortunately, most nations have given themselves over to leaders who have endorsed globalism and the unhealthy erasure of nation boundaries. God created nations and people groups. That was His idea.
“From one man he made every nation living on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the limits of their territories and the periods when they would flourish.” Acts 17:27 (CJB).

Everyone falls short of God’s standards for our behavior. The Apostle Paul’s struggle is shared by most believers. Our righteousness is filthy rags to God.
“I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
Roman 7: 21-25 (NLT)
