Can you Believe What They Did!

“Words of the Preacher: A study of the wisdom of Ecclesiastes”

With all the recent misdeeds and insanity coming from our political leaders it is very easy to want to throw up our hands in shock and disgust. It is not just a modern day problem. Just like we do, the ancients got upset with the mistakes in their leadership. The Preacher gives us the same advice to them as he does to us in Ecclesiastes 5:8. “If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.” No matter what position of authority one finds himself, there will always be someone over them to call them into account.  And in the end, God will judge everyone for what they have done (Romans 2:5-6).
