Let Righteousness Reign!

Lord, help our nation today! We ask you to let justice and righteousness reign.

Prov 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (to nations)."

I'm praying this all day today.

Psalm 89:14 (Amp) "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne, mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before your face. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the people who know the joyful sound (who understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized by the feasts); they walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance."

I had to share this from "The Message" translation of the same verse:

"Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise,
who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.
Delighted, they dance all day long; they know
who you are, what you do—they can't keep it quiet!
Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us—
you've been so good to us! We're walking on air!
All we are and have we owe to God,
Holy God of Israel, our King!"

Woe unto us if we ever become a nation that forgets God!
