“Woe
to those who enact evil statutes and those who constantly record unjust
decisions.” Isaiah 10:1
Are you troubled by the persistent
evil that comes out of our government and courts? This is nothing new. The
history of mankind has been consistent on devising evil, promoting evil, and
protecting evil. This evil has been within the community of God’s people,
priests and false prophets, and in the world around God’s people. We too often
react with amazement that such things can happen. Obviously we need to be in
God’s word more often to see this as no surprise.
So how do we respond? In John 21
Jesus told Peter, “What is that to you? You follow Me.” That is our response.
We follow Christ and not be dragged down to follow the world. God has declared
woe on the world and its leaders. What is that to us? We must continue to
follow Christ. That one assignment is our job, our calling, our greatest joy.
God will take care of the rest.
Dear Father, Let us not grow
fainthearted in the midst of great evil. Amen.
