Festering wounds inflicted from 'me first and I don't care about the consequences of my greed for power and more power' even it kills everyone in the process.
This describes a lot of individuals but it's underlying source are caused by "the people for the people", and this syndrome inflames the sores of homelessness, hunger, unemployment (which by the way, is the govenrment sector- E.I, which boasts of surplus {profit} every fiscal year) , 'broken' homes and fragmented families, murder by proxy and killing; autoimmune diseases, suicide and assited suicide, schizophrenia and all the supposedly perosnality disorders. Their statistics are taken in the form of census to survey the damage that they do as well as to strategize their plan to inherit the best fruit of everyone's labour and make them feel punished and direct them or misdirect them to God as the source of their oppression. But Isaiah 43: challenges the people who are in authority to realize that God promises to rescue His people, and though it may not seem like He is doing anything to save the oppressed, he is doing so right now, because He alone is God.
Solomon was a king and he faced the dire consequences of mismanaged affairs in personal and business relationships and he was humble enough to share his experience with us as this too apply to us in our day!
Here are a few tips worth following whether or not we are in public authority!
“When evil people are in power, crime increases but the righteous will se the downfall of such people.” Proverbs 29:16
“A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep Gods’ law.” Proverbs 29: 18
“
If the king defends the rights of the poor, he will rule for a long time.” Proverbs 29:14
“When the king is concerned with Justice, the nation will be strong but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country.” Proverbs 29:4
