Fully Carry Out Your Ministry
I didn’t know the Bible even mentioned politicians until I read psalm 58 in a few different translations...It never ceases to amaze me how biblical days are often times the same as today...Ultimately God Himself will bring justice here on earth...Then what do we do in the meantime???
Is this any way to run a country?
Is there an honest politician in the house?/You high and mighty politicians don’t even know the meaning of the word! Justice/Fairness? Which of you has any left? Not one! All your dealings are crooked: you give justice in exchange for bribes/In your heart you plan evil; you think up violent crimes in the land...Behind the scenes you weave webs of deceit, behind closed doors you make deals with demons...These men are born sinners, lying from their earliest words! Poison, lethal rattlesnake poison, drips from their forked tongues—Deaf to threats, deaf to charm, decades of wax built up in their ears...God, smash their teeth to bits, leave them toothless tigers{He will not suffer the malice of the wicked to triumph, He will deal them such a blow as shall disable them from mischief}...The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged...They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked...
Then at last everyone will say, there truly is a reward for those who live for God; SURELY THERE IS A GOD WHO JUDGES JUSTLY HERE ON EARTH...
{Psalm 58}
So what do we do until God brings justice???
The time will come when people will not listen to the truth. They will look for teachers who will tell them only what they want to hear....They will not listen to the truth....Instead, they will listen to stories made up by men...As for you;
?Always keep a clear mind in every situation
?Endure suffering/Do not be afraid to suffer for our Lord
? Do the work of an evangelist, tell others the Good News from place to place...
?Fulfill your ministry/Fully carry out the ministry God has given you
{2Timothy 4}
