If for a great leader a nation seeks, let it find one who will turn it to God.
Whatever else such a leader might deal with, this one would teach righteousness. Imagine this: Could it ever be we would have a president who would preach sermons? Someone who would hold press conferences to encourage people to -- well -- live the Ten Commandments?
Thou shalt not bear false witness? What of a president who would stand up and stress the importance of this commandment, and reflect on the ways the nation might be falling short, and encourage the people to do better.
Love your neighbor as yourself? What of a president who would reflect on how he and his people were doing with that commandment -- who would ask, Are we, as a people, loving our neighbors?
Someone might say, You're going to have to water this down a little bit. A president who teaches righteousness and who turns the people toward righteousness is one thing. But, you better leave God out of it.
Either way, the nation would be greatly served by having a president who would lead us in paths of righteousness. Many of our problems would be solved by the very nature of us living righteously.
