I am sure of the fact that it is our job to pray for our nation and its people until our last dying breath, or until Jesus returns. God has brought rebellious nations back to himself many times in the past, and perhaps He’ll do it in the future. But I will also be the first to admit that I could be wrong. I’ve already told you that I believe that we are in the last days, so I’m not holding my breath for this change to happen. It is not until we fall on our knees and confess our sin and rebellion, and once again look to the Author of life and law will we see peace in our land and in our world.
One has only to look at recent news reports to see examples of that. People without a respect and reverence of the Lord and His Word are, as a group, unhappy and selfish and rebellious.
There is no longer an overarching God fearing moral compass in the land. But now that the Bible is all but banned in the halls of government and politicians care more for pleasing lobbyists and following polls, and not being cancelled, than in doing what is right and moral and best for the country, the public have cast off restraint. Maybe it was true in the past, when our elected leaders (at least in public) honored the Word of God. I’m not naive any more, and I certainly no longer believe in the wisdom of the people. I believed that the voting public would make right decisions in electing people for office and in voting on issues. When I was young and naive, I trusted the wisdom of the people.

You might remember that when we read through the book of Judges back in October and November there were several times in Judges where the text said something like, “And there were no kings in the land.” In other words, there was no one to lead the people, with the implication being “no one with an understanding of the Word of God.” And since the people were free to do as they wanted, many terrible things happened.Īnd isn’t that what verse 18 here is saying? “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” And I think the different translations here help to illuminate what God is telling us in this verse. It helps me get a better grasp of what is being taught. I always like to look at several translations when I do a Bible study.
