Solve the Problem

There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society.  Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime.  They are
struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis.  If men would give more heed to the teachings of Gods word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them.

No Civil Reforms

"The Savior attempted no civil reforms, attacked no national abuses, condemned no national enemies. Nor did He interfere with the authority or administration of those in power.  He was not indifferent to the woes of men, but He knew that the remedy lay not merely in human and external measures.  To be effective, the cure had to reach men individually and regenerate the heart (see The Desire of Ages, p 509, Ellen G White).  This He strove incessantly to do."

Finances in Difficult Times

No one ever trusted God in vain.  God never disappoints those who depend on Him.

...It is very tempting to trust in the power of the government or in our retirement account, but in every crisis mentioned in the Bible, when the people trusted in God  He honored their trust and provided for them.

quoted from God Will Provide by John Bradshaw; chapter Managing Finances in Difficult Times,
p 27, by G Edward Reid.

God's People are Safe

God who slumbers not, who in every crisis has been the strength and dependence of His people, will carry out His eternal purpose.

   He will thwart the designs of wicked men, and will bring to confusion the counsels of those who plot mischief against His people.

He who is the King, the Lord of hosts…amidst the strife and tumult of nations guards His children still.

 When the strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of wrath shall strike through the hearts of His enemies, God's people will be safe in His hands.

God's Leading Statesmen

God has His agents among the leading men and women of the nation. With unanswerable arguments statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose measures that would greatly impede the work of God. Thus a few people will hold in check a powerful current of evil.
