My wife and I were in slow-moving traffic the other day and we were stopped behind a car that had an unusual Trudeau bumper sticker on it. It read: "Pray for Trudeau. Psalm 109:8".
When we got home my wife got out the Bible and opened it up to the scripture. She started laughing, then she read it to me - then I had a good laugh too.
Psalm 109:8 (NIV): "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership."
And the King James version reads, "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."
At last I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our Prime Minister! Let us all bow our heads and pray, fellow Canadian Conservatives. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN?
