In The Light

The world is seeking answers to the chaos, turmoil, and anger that rages among the nations. There are programs and more programs, added and removed. There are old laws and new ones being added, new government officials, new science, new studies, and research going on each day, and yet the nations rage.
Psalm 2:1-5 "Why do the nations rage and people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, ""Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us."" He who sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in his wrath, and distress them in his deep displeasure."
All of the newness has not brought much positive change to a rapidly deteriorating society. Will it be the next president or government leaders and officials who will fix all of the brokenness of our society? or maybe the next program, the next march for justice, or the next riot?
What is sadder still, is that the answer is right in front of us,in plain view all about us. The answer being so simple and yet human logic cannot comprehend it. The world gropes in darkness for the answers which can only be found in the light.
John 8:12 "Then Jesus spoke to them again saying, ""I am the light of the world, He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."" 
It is ONLY in the light that we shall discover the answers we so desperately need and search for, but for now the nations continue to rage, as we cast away the cords, drifting further and further from the light.
