Today’s Thought “Kiss the Ground?” G. Ward

Deuteronomy 8

 ³ And He humbled you and let you go hungry, and fed you with the manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, in order to make you understand that man shall not live on bread alone, but man shall live on everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

 

We must never forget that at the helm of democracy is an influencer who’s entirely subjective in evil (*2 Cor.4:4). The governmental order we enjoy, exists as close to perfect, inviting equality (economically and socially), yet there are some bucking to a philosophical interpretation demonstrated by autocrats of times past so entirely attractive, but forgetting their demise that questions where an eternity is spent (cf. Eph.6:12). Unfortunately, there’s no guard against such a pervasion, particularly as the whole of mankind can’t foresee another’s mindset that shrinks unto a horrid egoism (*Ps.139:1-7) and whereas we live in a “land flowing with milk and honey,” there’s often forgetfulness regarding penetration of evil taking over the strongest example (in the world) of a land “by the people and for the people.” Like God’s people (historically), we’re called to celebrate HIS perfect guidance; whether through a wilderness experience, or subject to a land fortified by its Owner (Ps.24:1) and while an autocrat (i.e., a ruler who has absolute power) is usually determined as a governmental official suffering in narcissism, each of us as we’ve determined to follow our perspectives and opinions (i.e., outside of God’s Word) may be autocratic.
