All humans are fickle. When you put a bunch of them together you get a fickle-fest. We can’t save the world, so why should we even try to fix its problems? The only thing we are commanded to do is to preach the Good News of the Gospel, to love one another, and be obedient to God. We don’t need to worry about what’s on the news, or how badly people behave, or even the state of our economy. We focus on God, and speak truth wherever and whenever the opportunity arises. We do it one person at a time. That’s the most effective way. It doesn’t take great preparation, like writing a speech. It’s just takes a heart in pursuit of God, experiencing Him and His blessings, so that you want others to experience the same. It’s the only cure for fickleness.
The people ate their fill. He gave them what they craved.30 But before they satisfied their craving, while the meat was yet in their mouths,31 the anger of God rose against them,and He killed their strongest men.He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men. 32 But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.Despite His wonders, they refused to trust Him.33 So He ended their lives in failure,their years in terror.34 When God began killing them,they finally sought Him.They repented and took God seriously.35 Then they remembered that God was their rock,that God Most High was their redeemer.36 But all they gave Him was lip service;they lied to Him with their tongues.37 Their hearts were not loyal to Him.They did not keep His covenant.38 Yet He was merciful and forgave their sinsand did not destroy them all.Many times He held back His angerand did not unleash His fury!39 For He remembered that they were merely mortal,gone like a breath of wind that never returns.
Psalms 78:29b-39
