Run or Rot
1
The wicked run away when no one is chasing them,
but the godly are as bold as lions.
2
When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.
But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.
Wicked people often live in fear, constantly afraid of losing their power. Take Stalin, for example—he ruled Russia with absolute power and had 20 million people killed because he feared others might take control. Yet, despite all his power, it only lasted about 30 years.
On the other hand, Jesus, known as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, was bold and fearless, even in the face of death. He rose from the dead and conquered death, giving Christians the courage to be bold like lions, knowing they are on the side of righteousness. While some may die for their faith, they are confident in eternal life.
Verse 2 notes that in times of rebellion and civil unrest, many people vie for power. But when a country is at peace, it's because it is led by someone with wisdom and understanding.
Think about this: Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus, the Lion of Judah? If not, you can meet Him through Scripture. If you're not familiar with the Bible, a great place to start is the Book of John.
