Leaders reflect us...

I�¢??ve witnessed the constant blame gain heaped on politicians and their lack of truthfulness and integrity. The Christian should know better, God urges them to pray for them, not to criticise them, mainly because He chose them, so in fact we�¢??re critical of God! (1Timothy 2:1-3)
They are actually chosen by our own people �¢??The government of the people, by the people, for the people�¢?? (Gettysburg address)
And they are people like you and me, they are chosen from our number, our opinions of them may cause them to act as we want them to act, whether we lift them up in support and praise, or not.
Yes, they may actually want to please you, or alternatively, the reverse could be true! I know they may have one or two �¢??normal�¢?? people that don�¢??t always tell the truth, (like you and me) But praise and kindness reaps greater rewards than cruel words. Would you like your kids to hear bad things said of you? What�¢??s the saying? You may get the government you need, or the government you deserve!
Proverbs 18:21 �¢??The power of life and death are in the tongue, and those that love it will eat its fruit�¢??
James 3:4 �¢??And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go even though the winds are strong.�¢??
Proverbs 26:20 �¢??Without wood, a fire will go out, and without gossip, quarrelling will stop.�¢??
This is not religion, it�¢??s common sense!
