Be good for your city

“But this people’s leaders were misleading, and those being led were confused.” – Isaiah 9: 16

A MAJOR reason for confusion in these times is when good people feel obliged to please society’s leaders in order to be accepted, to “fit in”, and probably to prosper. Whatever our feelings about public goings-on in our communities or our nation, we must remember that we are also – and primarily – godly citizens. We cannot serve two masters when it comes to choosing priorities. If you’re ever in any doubt, refer to Proverbs 11: 11 which tells us that godly citizens are “good for a city and make it prosper.”
