When God Says...
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” (Proverbs 29:2 KJV)
With this very timely reminder, the Lord continues to drive in the necessity of a righteous governing authority. Yes, one whose leaders have been made right in God’s sight by faith in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1). The people right now are in a state of mourning, as they bear the character and nature of the nation's present leadership. When wickedness rules, the social fabric of the nation is broken and battered. Evil is pronounced good, and what is right in God's eyes is condemned wrong. We watch innocents' lives casually taken and God's design for family unit dismantled. The hearts of God's children in Christ Jesus are in lament. We all, who are members in the body of Christ by grace along with many in the world, mourn!
It is time for the people of God to stand strong on the solid ground of righteous standards by faith in Christ Jesus. The trend needs to be reversed, so rejoicing can reign. Healing must come and be manifest by restoring God's grace and sovereignty in our lives and nation. We need to repent, seek and come to God in Christ Jesus by faith. His Words remind with assurance: “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!
