2 Chronicles 19:4-7 (NLT)
4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, but he went out among the people, traveling from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, encouraging the people to return to the LORD, the God of their ancestors. 5 He appointed judges throughout the nation in all the fortified towns, 6 and he said to them, “Always think carefully before pronouncing judgment. Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the LORD. He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case. 7 Fear the LORD and judge with integrity, for the LORD our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.”

Father raise up leaders like Jehoshaphat
who will love truth, dispense justice, and fear You. How else can a nation be spared
from its own moral collapse and self-destruction.
May we ever remember: Micah
6:8 (ESV) “He has told you, O man, what is
good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Amen
