Proverbs 28:2 ¶ For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
I liked the NLT: “When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But with wise and knowledgeable leaders, there is stability.”
The people of our country (America) should take this truth to heart. I think there have always been men of both good and bad character in government leadership in our country. The difference today being that those of bad character seem to greatly outnumber the good and are stepping forth more boldly in declaration of their wicked agendas, doing all they can to destroy the moral fiber of our society. The inevitable conclusion will be the destruction of America. Only if the American people wake up and recognize that truth and actively work to turn our nation back to the principles upon which it was founded that were rooted in the word of God, do we have a hope for the future. Our only hope is in strong, godly leadership. Sadly, I believe we have passed the point of turning back. My hope is in the return of Jesus to take His children home and eventually usher in His earthly kingdom.
Proverbs 28:4 ¶ They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
The Hebrew for the word “law” is a reference to God’s law. Those who reject God’s law praise the wicked, while those that choose to obey the law oppose the wicked.
Again, this is blatantly on display in America today. Those that reject God and His word are blatantly passing laws and instituting practices that are in direct disobedience to God’s word. As they do so, the masses cheer them on. They are so blinded by the god of this world that they cannot reason properly.
2 Corinthians 4:3–4 “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Those of us that seek to honor the LORD and obey the laws and principles set forth in His word are fighting back—but I think complacency and apathy have been allowed to reign for far too long. It will take a great revival in our country to change course to honor the biblical foundation upon which this country was established.
Scripture is very clear that when it comes to a choice—Acts 5:29 “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
