And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by the Levitical priests.
Deuteronomy 17:18
A king (and by extension, all leaders) should make a habit of continually reading and studying Torah throughout his life. Continually studying and *keeping* Torah cultivates humility and a fear of God, vital qualities in a leader.
#deuteronomy 17:18-20
God placed some limitations on the authority of a king. He's not allowed to...
-Rely on military strength or alliances for security. There's nothing wrong with a strong military or being friendly with neighboring nations, but God is our true defense.
-Use his office for personal enriching himself at the expense of the people, whether in gold, women, property, or anything else. There's nothing wrong with wealth or even in using your position to earn it. The problem is in abusing your position. No bribes, unjust taxes, property confiscations, or other perversions of justice.
All leaders need to remember that they exist for the sake of their people and their mission, never the other way around.

I deal with chronic pain on a regular basis but, am really struggling since spending 4.5 days on the road... please share your favorite verses of encouragement and strength. ?
Isaiah 45; 7, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Why give the demonic more credit than it deserves? Sometimes it is the Creator who chooses to allow confusion or destruction to suit His purpose.

Thought for Today: Thursday September 01:
The moment you came to Moshiach, YHVH’s Ruach brings the life of Elohiym into you and you begin to live… There is a whole new direction in your life, because now, YHVH’s Ruach has implanted within you the very life of Elohiym Himself, Who is eternal. And that means you will live as long as Elohiym lives. Too many believers get themselves weighed down by the cares and routines of daily living. Don’t let that happen to you. Ask Elohiym to help you live each day with eternity in view.
From the ancient days, kings were military leaders. Israel disrespected YHVH when they asked for a king because YHVH went before them and fought for them. Granted, they were allowed to have a king so Yeshua could become the ultimate King, but you get my drift.
The tradition of kings being military leaders carries through to today except in western democracies. Our nation was prepared to make George Washington king after the defeat of British Empire. Washington refused and instead, we got a form of government where the military power resides in an office that changes hands. We in the US do not serve an earthy king. We support our constitution and the office of president, understanding that men are flawed. I will not serve an earthly king, nor will my children. Our King is Yeshua, who's power and authority were given to Him by Yahweh, Creator of the Universe.
