I suppose the answer is
an action
that serves
the common good
of all.
As the psalmist wrote:
“Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.”
But can a God
who is uncompromising
in His love
of the world
and
His expectation
of His people
to return His love
with
all their being
bless
a political act
that requires a
dance of egos
agendas
and
the give and take of
compromise?
As the psalmist wrote,
“It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.”
than to trust in princes.”
O Lord,
on the mount
You told us
who were
to be blessed.
The meek.
Those seeking righteousness.
The pure of heart.
The peacemakers
and
the persecuted.
Help me
understand
the actions
of Your Kingdom.
