The governments of this world so often only offer hollow promises, power games, deceit or corruption. By contrast God’s government offers sustainability, justice, and righteousness. Isaiah 9:7 tells us ‘He will reign on David’s throne and on His kingdom and over His kingdom establishing and uplifting it with with justice and righteousness from that time and for ever.’
It seems round the world at the moment some countries have dictators, some have evil wars and some have weak leaders. Faith in government seems to be at an all time low. We long for God’s justice to come where the vulnerable will not be exploited, the handicapped will not be overlooked and the poor will no longer be in need.
This is something that we can pray for. ‘Thy kingdom come,’ we pray in the Lord’s Prayer. We can be horrified at the injustices in the world that we see, but do not let us concentrate but concentrate of God of Everlasting Justice. In His time, not ours, justice will be done and seen to be done.
