We Want Change!
Manage episode 441698600 series 3565033
I was reading a book written over 400 years ago that talked about “jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.” That mistake is about as older than the saying. We overreact to a bad situation and end up making things worse. There is perhaps no area of life where people have made this tragic mistake more often than in government. There is a story in the Old Testament that illustrates this lesson. Sometimes people are so intent on change that they refuse to listen to good advice. God Himself tried to reason with the people of Israel, but they wouldn’t listen. They paid the price of their stubbornness for hundreds of years. This story is greatly needed in our day of uncertainty in politics and society.
