I’m reading Exodus 10: 1-12. It is impressed on my mind that the people of every land suffer or thrive because of the decisions of their appointed, elected, or inherited leaders.
Pharaoh’s officials and the Egyptian people looked favorably upon the Moses and the Hebrews. They supported compliance with Moses’s demands. Ignoring the advice of the leaders and the suffering of his people, Pharaoh’s pride led to great suffering.
There is a lesson in there for us. It applies to America as well as the foreign nations that we interject ourselves into.

How many of you need extra peace today?
Jesus is with us now and forever.
He will never leave nor forsake us.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11: 28-30 (NIV). #Bible #Peace #Rest #meditation
These verses are more easily posted than practiced. Help me, Lord
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Never be wise in your own sight.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12: 14-19 (NIV).
