Prophets and Rulers

The Law of God for Daily Meditation

Morning Meditation

Deuteronomy 18.15-20

15 “The LORDyour God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, 16according too all you desired of the LORDyour God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORDmy God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.’ 17 And the LORDsaid to me, ‘What they have spoken is good. 18 I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. 19 And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words which He speaks in My name, I will require itof him. 20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’”

Jesus is God’s Prophet, Who declares God to me (Jn. 14.18). Am I meeting with Him this morning? Every morning? How will I listen for His voice to guide me throughout this day?

Evening Meditation

Exodus 22.28

“You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people.”

Deuteronomy 16.18-20

18 “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORDyour God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land that the LORDyour God is giving you.”

Rulers are God’s servants for good (Rom. 13.1-5). Have I prayed for our rulers today – civil and ecclesiastical? What ruler can I encourage tomorrow, that he or she might serve God with just judgment?
