No Outcry in the Streets #382

What of men who blow up a building containing a daycare center and a mother who drowns her babies?The Bible talks about ancient kings who engaged in such evil. "Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God, as his father David had done. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the sons of Israel" (2 Kings 16:2-3).

Here is the mournful cry regarding the country where such things occur. "Alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away from Him" (Isaiah 1:4).

Is there a correlation between our lack of service to God and the eruption of evil in our land? The Bible suggests there is. The opposite also seems to be true. Psalm 144:14 prays, "Let there be no outcry in our streets!" The Psalm then exclaims, "How blessed are the people who are so situated; how blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!" (Psalm 144:15).
