Psalm 144; 10 and 15 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings; who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
It would of course be best to read the whole chapter but these two are kind of “bookends” to an understanding of our living on earth. Scripture told us to pray for our leaders. The question is, pray for what? Salvation. The story of the many kings of Israel is for our instruction and consideration; when the kings were saved (looking to God for counsel), the nation was blessed and the people were happy.
The same remains true today. We pray for our leaders, not that they would be successful in their wicked ambitions, but to come to the place where they repent of their sins and seek counsel from the Lord.
Politics will remain dirty as long as men take counsel from educated, godless, self-serving people. We pray they would be saved for the purpose of blessing God and through that, blessing our nation.
