Submit To God’s Law
“In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” Judges 21:25
Lawlessness prevails in several nations of the world today in one manner or the other. Even though international institutions keep watch on law and order in all countries, yet the worst possible atrocities still take place every day.
The magazine Silicon India ranked each country by lawlessness. Their number one lawless country is Columbia. The magazine said: “Wrecked by more than half a century of civil war, political conflict and drug trade, Colombia is a modern nation which is in total disorder. Most of us would have guessed a middle-eastern or an African nation to top the list of most disturbed nations, but to our surprise Colombia it is. Colombia, a country that is deeply divided between the rich Spanish descent and a majority of poor citizens is a victim of narco-terrorist groups, residential crimes, political violence and drug trafficking. This Latin American country is a weak state dominated by rebel groups.”
Sin and chaos rule when Jesus is not on the throne. As believers, we need to let go of selfishness and all forms of greed and subject ourselves to the law of Christ for our own good. When we do, the Lord will bring his peace to bear upon our lives.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
