But with a discerning and knowledgeable person it endures.
Those who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law battle against them.
Evil men do not understand justice,
But those who seek The Lord understand everything. Proverbs 28:2,4,5
With the advent of social media we are seeing more people express opinions, and not all of them good. Where do their opinions come from? A lot are instigated by people with strong opinions with a bias to their own gospel. For example in Australia we have a party called The Greens. As you would assume, they stand for preservation of nature, but they also express opinions about asylum seekers and our current Liberal Government's stance on people arriving by boats.
Up until the current terrorism scares in our respective countries, the Green's said our government was too harsh but now that we are having to deal with terrorism, they are quiet.
A government that is in power is privey to intelligence that others do not have. In the absence of intelligence arrogant opinions fly.
I am grateful to our government for their protection of our borders and firm stance on those seeking to live in Australia, whilst I see the plight of the refugees, I also understand we are responsible for those we take in.
My role is to pray for my government and be open to The Lord as to how I can be a blessing to the refugees of the world. I can pray and I can give. I don't need to be blind to their pain but I also must trust The Lord to use my government for our good. Amen!
