People should listen to the quiet words of those who are wise. That’s better than paying attention to the shouts of a ruler of foolish people.
- Ecclesiastes 9:17 (NIRV)
You can always tell when election time rolls around by the shift in ads and attitude.
I feel like the political stance in this country has been at the forefront of everyone’s mind for the last two decades.
We live in a world that thrives on the “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” mentality.
Many great things have been accomplished by people who speak up and fight for what is right.
But are we really fighting for what is right, or are we just fighting to fight?
It is sad to observe the shouts of those who consider themselves pioneers and leaders because quite often we find that those who are shouting the loudest don’t even know why they are shouting.
Please don’t misunderstand me, there are numerous causes that need publicity to raise awareness.
Change has happened because people stood up for a belief or a right and made change happen.
Some of the squeaky wheels honestly know nothing about the actual situation, they are following the crowd or doing the “in” thing.
They are clueless of the impact their actions will ultimately bring.
Sometimes it is the quiet words of the wise that are needed to bring about change.
Maybe this is another place where we are being told to be still and listen?
