Many people in our day base much of their contentment in life upon how things are going in government and in Wall Street, as though it is the government and Wall Street that controls their happiness and their contentment. When things are not going the way that they think that they ought to go, in the running of the government, they are tempted to curse the king. When their investments take a turn for the worse they are tempted to curse the rich. This is what the current “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations, in our society, are all about; all these extremely dissatisfied young people and adults protesting that they have not gotten their fair share of good things in this life. But if we will believe the Bible (which is God's Word) we will see over and over again that it is God who has the ultimate control over kings and kingdoms, and riches and poverty; so our real happiness and contentment rests upon a much firmer foundation than the stability of our government or our financial investments, at any given time. We ought to be extremely thankful that this is so. And so this evening I would like us to speak together about the reasons that we should not curse the king or the rich. First we want to think about how important the control of your thoughts is in the sight of God. And then we want to look at God's amazing way of making secret sins known if it is His will.
