If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them….

I can’t help but think of politicians when I read the scripture below. The amount of wealth these compromising politicians have gained since being elected is staggering. For example, one long time politician entered Congress with an annual salary of $165,000, and net worth of $350,000. Now their net worth is $450 million. This is just one example of many politicians who have “sold out” to the world. Sadly, they are from both political parties. They’re the Epitome of the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them”. Saying things to appease people is flat out wrong, when it comes to getting votes. It’s a power thing. Yet we live in a world that promotes it. We live in a world that is more impressed with outside appearances than what lies in the heart. If God disciplined Judah with exile, what’s stopping Him from doing the same for America? Are we any different? Undeserving? Do yourself a favor today, ask God for discernment, to help you decipher truth from all the lies. Then apply it in every aspect of your life. You may not find excitement and immediate happiness in doing so, but you’ll save yourself a lot of pain and suffering when you do. You won’t be deceived. And most importantly, you’ll rest peacefully at night knowing God honors those that honor Him.

13 “From the least to the greatest,their lives are ruled by greed.From prophets to priests,they are all frauds.14 They offer superficial treatments for My people’s mortal wound.They give assurances of peace when there is no peace.15 Are they ashamed of their disgusting actions? Not at all–they don’t even know how to blush!Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered.They will be brought down when I punish them,”says the Lord. Jeremiah 6:13-15
