I was reading the writings of Habakkuk who was a prophet in Israel hundreds of years ago. He was complaining about the ruling government in his country, and wondering why God wasn’t doing anything about it. The complaints looked very similar to many that I have heard today in our own government here in South Africa. What is God doing about it? Doesn’t He care?
3 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong?Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
It never really bothered me before. I am one of the privileged few here. I have employment, my own house, and more than enough money. But one of the reasons my son and his family went to Australia, is because of our corrupt government and their mismanagement. So now I am concerned. Our governments shortcomings have impacted on me, personally. I need to know what God thinks, and what He is going to do about it. More about this tomorrow.
