With the US elections a week away, Christians understand that no human leader can deliver the salvation and security we need.

But we also know that leaders can promote peace, and they can promote strife.

For that reason, do remember, and be encouraged to act on, these words from 1 Timothy 2:1-4:

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” – ESV.
