WHOSE IN
AUTHORITY ?
We live in a
day whereby all people seek some sort of power.
Some seek financial power. Those who have money
have power. They have power of control to
some sort. You see people such as this
have all sorts of ties within the cities for which they
dwell. Then some seek positional power.
These are they who seek to govern and rule. We
see this in all sorts of structures. We
see this in a small scale within community organizations.
People participating in clubs and organizations within the
community. Then in a much larger scale we
see this in politics and in the running for major offices
within the government.
Our verse
reflects the mood of the people can of-times be tempered by
the people in power. When corrupt people
come to power it can bring a country down however when good
moral clean - cut people are put in office then the mood of
the people is much more relaxed.
Watch how this principal plays out in the upcoming
elections. This is a crucial time if there
ever was for America. If the wrong person
is elected it could bring our country down.
In choosing
a person as authority we must use the Word of God.
It's not who can smile the most or make the most sweetest
sounding promises. Its not even the one
who promises comfort and convienence. The
one who can govern this nation best is the one who humbly
seeks divine intervention and follows and adheres to the
dictates of God's Holy Word. Sadly, Im not
sure we will find that person who is wholeheartedly sold out
to the Lord. Most of the time theres
too much bowing to the pressures of the crowd, even if that
crowd is the ones going adamently against the ways of the
Lord.
Pray and ask
God for divine intervention and his mercy on America.
So that our future for divine prosperity can be preserved.
While there may not be a Moses-like candidate we do know
that God's divine hand is mightier than the heart of any
ruler.
Proverbs 29:2 ¶ When the righteous are in authority, the
people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people
mourn.
