When God Says …
“When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: But when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.” (Proverbs 28:12 KJV)
This passage speaks about two influencers of contrast, between the righteous and the wicked. It is right on spot of today's political discourse and social pulse - in light of the country and the world's moral and spiritual decline. And, most sadly in the so called 'churches' that has drifted away from the truth of God's holy and written Word.
When the righteous rejoices and rises to authority, influence and power - joy, peace and prosperity reign for the nation. An atmosphere of exuberance pervades the hearts of its people. They are jubilant. There is rejoicing. And, they glory in it as the name of the Lord is lifted high in Christ Jesus.
When people, who reject God and trample on the authority of His Word, step into authority and power, the people suffer. Like in the reign of Ahab and his wife Jezebel who ruled the kingdom of Israel. They rejected the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Then, they established the evil religion of Baal their pagan god - a false god (1 King 16:29-33). Which is just like the atmosphere, we are watching, in today's world and sadly in our nation. The Supremacy of God, who sent His only Son Jesus to die for mankind, is being replaced by self-defined belief in a god that kills millions of unborn children and totally reject the Lord's holy and written Word. The cries of those innocent babies are hidden, as their body parts are hidden in so-called 'medical science breakthroughs'. And, the people are burdened of the harsh realities for living the right way, of diligence, honesty and integrity.
Yes, that's how it is when leaders and those who raise and install such leaders in power turn away from the TRUE God and Father of Jesus Christ. People suffer. People are Cancelled, Hidden, Shamed and Trampled. But, time is coming. And, let it not be too late to honor Him and receive Him Jesus our Lord by faith and be saved by His grace. Let it be now! He is Lord of all creation, as it is written: “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11 ESV)
