Our strategies and plans, our negotiations and proposals are no more able to bring peace and harmony, justice and righteousness than the efforts of Abner and Joab. How pathetic are our efforts to advance God's kingdom!
We are grateful for any government movement that moves us away from sinful corrupt practices and moves us toward a honest and righteous state. We do not however, put our hope and trust in any government because they are limited. Only God can bring lasting peace.
Scripture Text: 2 Samuel 2:12-32
