The governments of the world so often offer only hollow promises, power games, deceit or corruption. By contrast God’s government offers sustainability, unbreakable promises and righteousness. Isaiah 7 tells us ‘He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing it with justice and righteousness, from that time and for ever.’
It seems round the world at the moment, and maybe always, some countries have dictators, some have weak governments and some have civil wars, while others have weak leaders. Faith in government seems to be at an all time low. We long for God’s justice where the vulnerable will not be exploited, the handicapped will not be overlooked and the poor will no longer be in need.
Come, Lord Jesus, come in Your great power..
