Justice shall walk before him,
and salvation, along the way of his steps.
PSALM 85:14
Thus says the Lord: Observe what is right, do what is just; for My salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed (Isa 56:1).
The Lord loves the just, secures justice for the oppressed (Ps 146:6-8), . Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven. (Ps 85:11-12)
The Lord Himself will give His benefits; our land shall yield its increase (Ps 85:13). God has set a single journey for your family towards the permanent dwelling place that He has given you. A place where you shall be reunited with your roots and worship the one true God. He will take good care of you and your family. Be blessed in God's comfort (Mt 5:4).
Jesus said, "The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Mt 23:11-12)
Leadership is a sacred responsibility, it is not a means to having a life of privilege and advantage at the expense of others (Mt 23:4). It is a life of service where you put the interest of others first before your very own. As God's anointed leader, you should always lead by example (Mt 23:3). People should not see you but the Lord in you so that by you, God will be praised and glorified (Mt 23:5, 8-10).
The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable (Rom 11:29). Show reverence for God as your Lord. No one can ever take His place in your life. Put God first in all the things you do.
I will hear what God proclaims; the Lord—for He proclaims peace. Near indeed is His salvation to those who fear Him, glory dwelling in our land. (Ps 85:9-10)
