Many desire a ruler’s favor,
but a person receives justice from the Lord.
Proverbs 29:26 (CSB)
You see it every time political power changes hands: a new leader is suddenly surrounded by eager voices, each insisting they’re the truest supporter, each angling for a favor, a position, or a slice of the budget.
It makes total sense ... if your hopes for personal advancement, success, and security are pinned to a politician.
But if you long for real truth and justice, it would be good to heed the words of Charles Colson:
Where is the hope? I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized by the decay around us. Where is the hope? The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us or what laws are passed or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people. And that’s where our hope is in this country. That’s where our hope is in life.

Truth is...Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - Psalm 20:7 (NIV)
