There’s nothing to give up. They tried, they lost, they are being punished, better luck next time. It’s just like a football, the final whistle blew, your team lost, but there’s another game soonish.
Who ordained that? Mere man? Who is less than nothing in God’s sight?
There are godly ways to do things and they win. I know too little about the attempt to bring Boehner down to opine on whether it was godly. But the ancient Hebrews didn’t win every battle either — sometimes they lost for a short season so that they could see the benefit of doing things in a godly way.
