In All Our Ways Let's Acknowledge God

in #steemchurch5 years ago

And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you: for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, with which they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto you. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: however protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 1 Samuel 8:7-9

God was the one who took Israel from bondage, made them pass through the red sea and led them through the wilderness into their promised land.

It came to a time when they desired to put their government in the hands of their fellow mortals. God had always been their King but this time wanted a mere mortal to lead them.

They wanted to have a king that they could relate to physically just like other nations have. God granted their request anyway but their attitude was more of rejecting God and His ways.

It is not a bad idea to have a mortal ruler but it is a bad idea when God is never recognised in our affairs.

They later on experienced so many torubles as God had warned them concerning the manner of kings that shall reign over them.

Some of the kings they chose put them into hardships, forced labour, imposition of heavy taxes and the worship of idols which is a great abomination to God.

No matter how develop our nation is, the number of millionaires and billionaires living in them, we will still experience social and economic hardship, political instability and chaos if we don't acknowledge God in our affairs.

The United Nations(UN), the Economic Community of West African States(ECOWAS) ,and governments of many nations are trying so hard to maintain peace and to improve the standard of living of their citizens but to no avail.

They hardly achieve the goal of ensuring a peacful world without chaos becuase they have taken God out of the worldly affairs.

The remedy to dealing with issues of life and the troubles of life is not just about getting a good rulers or powerful organisations to maintian law and order but acknowledging God in all our affairs.

There is no way we going to fail if we work with God.

That is very true @collinz, in all things we should recognise God that without him we cannot do anything and involve him in all our dealings. Thank you for this great message!
