But my people did not listen to my words; Israel would not submit to me. So I thrust them away to the hardness of their heart; "Let them walk in their own machinations." (Psalms 81:12-13)
If we wonder why there is such ill will within the world, we need only look to how people have turned towards or away from Him. Because of our obstinance, He has left us to our choices. What we see within our governments only magnifies that which is within the people. The stories of the news reveals the corruption which brings darkness to the land. The stories are so often the same; reflecting selfishness, greed, incivility, conflict, violence, and struggles for power.
Rather than discussing and optimizing solutions to meet the needs of the people, many leaders throw verbal stones at one another. Rather than uniting the people to live in peace, they sow divisions and conflict. They disregard that which God has tried to teach us about living in charity and love for one another. Instead, they put forth their own distorted vision of what is right and just. The sanctity of life is trampled, while those who make selfish choices are raised up as courageous. Politicians seek to tap into the selfishness of the people as a means through which to obtain and hold their power.
Many fail to see the true morality of their Creator; therefore, they wander in confusion. They seek to establish their own course, their own beliefs; failing to see the harm which is spawned. They are seduced to judge one another, overlooking their own faults. They seek superiority over one another rather than extending hospitality and love. If they but understood the blessings of His commandments and the truth of His Word; if they simply turned to Him, they would find a world of blessings rather than the conflict and strife by which we are plagued.
Blessed are those who turn to Him, for He will reveal the blessings of love to their hearts.
