It is a joy to see a leader serving God.  When people see their leader pray and they watch them participate in things they do daily, they tend to do as the leader.  They pray as they do, they study as the leader does, they become like the people leading them.  If leaders do not follow God's instructions the people will not follow God's instructions.   LAZY followers make bad leaders powerful. 

In this chapter, we can see how glad people are when leaders lead righteously.

We can also see how God identifies people who hate His instructions.  We cripple people and their purpose when we do not lead like God.  God's Word cannot be ignored.  God's Word is God's menu.  The only thing He is obligated to serve is what is written on His Menu.

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lordshall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

People follow leaders

and they do what they do

Lord give us a leader

that Your Word they will choose

Show us a teacher

who has your heart

Rid us of those

Who cares nothing for the flock

It is time we learn 

What  the Word of God says

Then both leaders and followers

Will learn to obey.
