You have granted him his heart’s desire;
you refused not the wish of his lips.
For you welcomed him with goodly blessings,
you placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
(Psalm 21:3-4)
Great is His glory in your victory, great is His power in your weakness, great is His grace in your need, great is His praise in your witness.
God made you a blessing to others. He has granted your heart's desires and wishes with Goodly Blessings. He has given you victory in all of His works done in you. All these came to pass because you have given it all up to God.
Being a blessing to others require a great deal of sacrifice. This is what true politics is all about. Instead of living privately and enjoying the graces and blessings of the Lord that comes to you each day, you will be exposed in shouldering the burdens of others and deal with their concerns. You need to address each and every report that is brought up to this public office making it your priority before your own needs and that of your family.
People may wish to anoint you as their leader but the big question is are you up for it? Leadership is giving up your own riches and comforts in life for the benefit of others. It is not the position that matters but the responsibility that goes with it. You are not a king but a public servant. One who is willing to give and share his time, talent, and resources for the good and welfare of the people.
This is the essence of truly being great in the God's eyes. To be the last in order to be first!
