Reflection Verse:  Proverbs 20:26

Reflection:  Beloved, a wise king/ruler will not tolerate evil or corruption in his rule. He will not participate in, promote, plan, or invite such behaviors. Rather, a wise ruler will root out evil, wickedness, corruption etc., and he will deal with it, to bring it to a swift end. 

Prayer:  Lord, fill me with Your wisdom so that I may act in wisdom.  Open up Your knowledge to me so I can use it toward the benefit of humankind, exposing and rooting out any form of evil in the process… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen
