Sin in a nation produces instability — a revolving door of competing leaders, none of whom can hold things together. But a leader of deep understanding creates conditions for long-term flourishing. This is a truth about the relationship between righteousness and lasting governance. A nation's health begins with the character of its leaders.
Memory phrase: Wisdom brings lasting order.
Talk about it: Why does a wise leader help a country last longer and stay strong?
Prayer: God, give our leaders wisdom and understanding.
