Deut. 19:17 - "'Then both the men who have the dispute shall stand before the Lord, before priests and the judges who will be in office in those days.'"
As I was thinking how backwards our judicial system has become, putting the judges first and separating state from "religion", a friend came up and reminded me that the Supreme Court still begins with prayer. I wonder, do the lower courts begin with prayer too? I could be cynical and ask, "Where is the fruit of those prayers then? Why has our country fallen into such immoral allowances? "But I won't! If I compare our nation with others who are lead by such corrupt governments and where the people have absolutely no power whatsoever, I can see where God has protected us in many ways. Our country is very blessed. The ratio of economically poor and destitute is minimal in our country compared to the many others of this world. We do not need to live in fear daily of suicide bombers at the hands of our government, we don't need to negotiate prices for food, or pay off corrupt police men. We don't have men with rifles breaking into our homes threatening us on regular basis, our daughters are not being raped by rebels. Foreigners in our country are not being kidnapped for ransom and Christians, nor any other person of any faith is being imprisoned just because of their faith. God has blessed us, He is the Great judge, as long as we continue to put Him first, we will continue to see His blessings.
