This morning in my readings, I came across a passage in the Bible, Luke 7:31-35. It calls to my mind the political machinations that seem to be employed with increasing frequency in today's society.
The passage reads, "And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and he have not wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children."
What this means to me in my life is that God has blessed everyone in this world to WISELY recognize when someone is being deceptive or judging unrighteously. There is no way that these Publicans or Politicians can hide their absolute hypocrisy in condemning people for being both for and against a particular issue or way of doing things. It is within us a "gift" if you will from God that we can wisely discern the truth of all things.
