In the political history of our nation, and with the ascension into public offices of some [formerly respected] public figures, people could only come to a rough realization that one way indeed to test the independence and genuineness of the professed principles and values of these public figures is to see the manner of how they will use their people-given opportunity to serve the country who has a leader whose ways of governance are his own and whose principles and values are no respecter of opposing principles and values.
If these public figures will remain firm and faithful to truth and righteousness, we could just imagine how great the struggle would be of keeping the integrity of their own inner principles and values against such challenge.
"No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other." (Matt. 6:24)
Let us pray for the public figures who have been given the opportunity to protect the country from the impact of some serious mis-leadership. May the Lord God strengthen their spirits with the strength like the spirit of Daniel who was burdened to serve a powerful earthly king but remained faithful to the heavenly King of kings.
There will come a season of great testing. Principles and values shall clash. May they remain faithful to God's divine principles and values.
Pray; for these days are days of great shaking!
