Ps 67:4 (NIV) May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples justly
and guide the nations of the earth.
NOTE: The world is a crumbling place. Incivility, injustice, sexual slavery, cruelty, hunger, and selfish over abundance rule. The political heat is high, some want to characterize it as racial, others as prudence. Everyone wants change and no one wants to pay for it. Everyone just wants more of whatever they are getting. Someday, the Lord will rule with justice. In that day, we will sing and be glad, for justice will finally prevail. I look forward to that day. I feel sad for those who believe that man in his own power can achieve the peace he longs for. Oh, I don't think we should stop trying, but the problem is in the heart and no set of laws will change the heart. Sin is an ugly mistress and she is determined to destroy all that is good. Will we ever repent? Will we ever admit that the evil in the world is not because God does not care, but because God does care and we rebelled against his control many, many years ago in the garden. We got what we wanted and now we blame God for our mess which we created. And God calls to us, repent of your rebellion, and you will have real peace.
