THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
Scripture: Deuteronomy 17:6-9

Verses 8 and 9 in this passage are very important for us. These verses say, “If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses. And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.” If a matter arises which is too much for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses. “And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.” If there was ever a purpose for tongues, it is to pray and seek out the judicial wisdom of God and the application we are to make. How should we pray over wayward Supreme Court justices and federal judges who legislate from the bench? God gave us tongues to pray and scripture bids us to pray. We have seen what God did for Moses! We have seen what God did for King David! And we are charged in Scripture to pray judicially. We have a covenant in which God will demonstrate that He is too much for the enemy. Over and over again we have seen that. We can pray judicially and expect God to eventually change things. God is a just Judge. Crying out for just judgment on leaders who condone shedding innocent blood, redefining marriage and standing against Israel deserve the full measure of God’s dealing. As we ask pursue wisdom, God will lead. Asking God to cut them off is a privilege! But, let’s preface such radical prayers by praying in the Spirit first to lay hold of God’s heart in prayer.
