We all should pray that God would give our President the same spirit that Josiah had, to tremble at his Word. The Lord spoke the following to Josiah:
Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof because they have forsaken me, and have (worshipped) other gods But [say] to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, and thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. Behold therefore thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place (2 Kings 22:15-20).
God told the king, in essence, As long as youre in power, trembling at my Word and relying on me, you wont see the judgments to come. They wont happen during your reign.
I believe our window of opportunity to respond to Gods call is brief. We all should pray that our nation repents and turns back to the Lord. But our most intense prayers should be for our own hearts: Lord, let me tremble not at the disasters, but at your Word. I want to hear your voice in all of this. Cause me to turn wholly to you.
