“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2 KJV).
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice,” it’s the righteous people that rejoice. There are a lot of people in America that don't rejoice when a conservative is in the White House. They don't. They would just as soon have a socialist running the country. They are all demanding that we stop being nationalists in our country and become globalists. The world is ready for the one-world government of the Antichrist.
The problem with America is that you don't have enough righteous people; it's getting like Sodom and Gomorrah. When you really stop and think about it, even amongst Christian people it is hard to find people that really want to do right. God gives people what they deserve in the way of a monarch, or a leader, and here when the righteous are in authority; that usually is a result of the people wanting something that's fair and equitable, and something that has judgment and justice in the way of a government.
So, God usually gives that people what they want. Of course, that doesn’t always hold true. You study the history of England, you'll find that England would have a good King, a good monarch, then they’d have a Mary of Scots. People mourned under her rule. They didn't like her, but eventually God gave them some good kings, but for a time there it was rough.
“. . . but when the wicked beareth rule,” like Ahab, “the people mourn.” Also, like Belshazzar. Nebuchadnezzar was bad, but Belshazzar was worse. God cut him off and his kingdom; He never did that to his grandfather.
Let’s read a chapter of Proverbs a day and see what God might have for us. As the Lord leads, share with us what God has shown you in a special way and by His grace let us build up a devotional repository. Let’s keep our knives and forks handy for some daily bread!
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
So which is it with President Trump? 1/2 the population seems to be in mourning...
I was pretty sad when Barry and Micheal were squatting in the White House. Weren’t you?
“The problem with America is that you don’t have enough righteous people”
True.
“Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
