The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will. Proverbs 21.

Just as you cited above. Let us pray for our leaders and for leaders afar. That they might seek Him, who appointed the bounds of their habitation.

Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there any word from Yahweh, the LORD?”

“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “YOU will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.”

A very powerful teaching you bring to us, dear brother. And much needed at this tumultuous hour.

Man proposes. But God disposes in the geo-political realm.

In the spiritual realm, likewise. The flesh profits nothing. It's all of grace - including the faith to believe.

Brothers, sisters, Jew, and Gentile, young and old, let us bow before Him and join in prayer before his eternal Throne. The "One with Whom we Have to Do" is the mighty King of Kings and is obviously a long-suffering Father, Saviour, and Friend. Forever!
