Ecclesiastes 4
“On the hand of their oppressors there is power.” We have seen it time and again in the news. Moanmar Gadhafi indiscriminately killing his own people. Egyptian general Mubarak stepped down only after 18 days of tremendous uprising. The world is full men who oppress their people in order to maintain their control over them. Shall we mention Chavez, Castro? The list could go on and on. Indeed, would not the miscarried or aborted child be better off to enter straight into the presence of God than to live in this world and experience the continual mistreatment of the hands of men under the sun? That is the problem. It is under the sun. God has been asked to leave. Amazing, the Almighty will leave when puny little man asks Him to leave. But what happens when He leaves? Our activities are filled with vainty and grasping the wind which leads to oppression and poverty of the spirit. Hmmm. . . maybe it is only then that we can see our need of a glorious King. Indeed we serve a glorious King! Speak His glory to someone today!
