Proverbs 29:16 (LSB) 16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.<\/p>\n

When wicked people increase on a mass scale, the quality-of-life in that city or nation declines proportionately. Morals decay. Definitions of good and evil seem to be reversed. And mayhem takes over.<\/p>\n

As we have watched government after government topple over the last several years, we have been witnessing firsthand the truth of this verse.<\/p>\n

We have seen nations crumble under the leadership of wicked regimes who drive out God-fearing, moral, ethical leaders and install themselves in their place by forceful or corrupt means.<\/p>\n

This is not a political statement, but one that proves the truth of God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

Evil people take power not because they care about the people of a nation, or because they wish to strengthen a nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, they wish to rule over the people and lord their authority over them, wielding that power like a mighty weapon to force the people into submission.<\/p>\n

These newly installed governments institute practices that cause economies to completely crumble. Morals decline rapidly. And the wellbeing of that nation\u2019s people slides into oblivion as chaos rules.<\/p>\n

This sounds much like something the devil himself would orchestrate, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

And it is in perfect alignment with what the verse above so aptly states.<\/p>\n

But fear not, people of God. Because evil can only hold power for a season before it falls away and God brings punishment upon them.<\/p>\n

And we, the children of God, will witness their demise.<\/p>\n

We should not gloat about their fall or their calamity. But we should remain humble and rejoice that God has prevailed on our behalf, giving Him the glory and honor.<\/p>\n

And as God\u2019s people pray and fast, holding tightly to His promises and maintaining His morals, God will hear those prayers, and see the fervency of His people\u2019s prayers. And He will bring victory and healing to their land.<\/p>\n

And when He does, let us be sure to honor Him and give Him all the glory and honor He deserves.<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n
