Marg West Praise the Lord, everytime 1 start to write this little article, I get real excited about the word of God. The word of God is our authority for living. In Proverbs 29: 2 God's word tells us that, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked heareth rule the people mourn." To-day there are not many people rejoicing over the authority they are under,' just listen to people during an election, election, the politicians make all. kinds of promises, they can't and don't keep, we never seem to be satisfied with whoever gets in to rule even the ones we vote for, but God's word says when the righteous are in control the people rejoice. According to the word of God we need righteôus men and women in government and other places of authority. We need men and women 1 who know right from wrong and care enough about our country and its people to rule honestly. They make rules and then turn ♦around and over-rule the rule. What's the point? (Our government government is a joke). Proverbs 27: 12 "A prudent man forseeth the evil and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished." Prudent: exercising sound judgement in practical matters, cautious in conduct, not rash, managing carefully. This scripture does not mean a prudent man hides literally, he just passes by the evil and doesn't touch it. The ones who touch and play with evil according according to Proverbs 27:12 are simple simple and they are the ones who are punished. Proverbs: 14:9, "Fools, make a mock at sin: but ampng the righteous there is favour." II Chronicles 7:14 téljs us, "If my people (Christians) which are called by my name, shall tuimble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will 1 hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 1 Take time to pray for those in government.
