Proverbs 13: 23
Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, but it is swept away by injustice.
What a pithy summary of all the poor Nations of the World. God's goodness has provided abundant food for every Nation, but the corrupt governments of some countries prevent the people from benefiting from their own resources.
Even when other, richer Nations send food to them, their corruption keeps it from reaching its intended recipients, so the poor remain poor and hungry.
Yet, if the governments would only govern in Truth, righteousness, and justice, there would be plenty of food and prosperity for all.
O my Father, wake up Your church, Lord; open our eyes and enlighten our understanding to recognize the signs of the times in which we live. That we will respond by searching our own hearts, living our lives according to righteousness, and promoting righteousness in the societies in which we live, all over the World.
Send workers into Your fields, O Lord, that are already "white to harvest"!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
