The Difference After the U.S. Constitution was ratified by the individual states, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Our Constitution is an actual operation and everything appears to promise that it will last: but in this world nothing can be said to be certain but death and taxes.” Over 200 years later, the Constitution is alive even now – though barely breathing at times – but death is still a sure thing. Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me? Psalm 49:5 Written centuries earlier, Psalm 49 does not speak of forms of government or taxes. It speaks wisdom regarding the inevitability of death for rich and poor alike. And it makes a distinction between outcomes of those who glory in the things of this Earth and those who put their trust in Almighty God. Belief or unbelief: it makes all the difference in the world. The believer expects difficulties in life, but the Christian’s attitude should never be one of fear. In the end, “the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Matthew 13:43) Know the comfort that comes from belief in Jesus and His resurrection power. Then pray for those in authority…that they may serve with integrity and discover the living hope only Christ can give them. Recommended Reading: I Peter 1:3-9
