Rejoice or Groan?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for people who rejoice because the righteous increase. In Jesus’ name, amen.
When totalitarian dictators and other oppressive leaders come to power, those living under these regimes cry out for relief.
Proverbs 29:2 (ESV) describes what happens when the wicked rule.
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
In a democracy, it is vital that righteous people’s voices are heard.
Who gets in power will determine if the people rejoice or if they groan.
