Daniel 12:3
In a vision Daniel hears a voice proclaiming to him: "Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many
to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever."
Let us pray: Holy God, today we lift up to You each and every individual who serves in any leadership role across our forty-six counties. In towns and cities, in rural areas, here in this State House, in all sorts of roles, so many women and men faithfully carry out a rich variety of tasks. We are grateful for each and every one who strives to be a thoughtful, caring and conscientious servant of Your people, Lord, indeed "shining like the brightness of the sky," not for any personal gain, but solely for the benefit of those they serve. And may that be true always of each servant here in the Senate of South Carolina as well, as these individuals thoughtfully and wisely lead the way for all of our citizens. And, as always, to You be the glory, dear Lord. Amen.
