We discuss with each other, how bad the world has become. We look at wars, conflicts, and uprisings. We complain about riots and killings. Then we say the end must be near but what do we do to prepare? We act as if we are surprised by the way we are heading, but Scripture details it in such a way that if any unbeliever reads it, they should believe. Satan is running the world and he loves confusion and chaos, because they blind people like a fog. Thus they miss out on the clear understanding of God's word.

So as Christians what do we do? Our text today says, Proverbs 29:2 NASB95 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.

If we want to pushback the fog of chaos and confusion we need to see an increase of righteousness. This happens, with an increase in believers. Therefore we need to share the way. Rejoicing will happen as people come to Christ and righteousness increases. However, the opposite is also true. If we don't share, and the kingdom of God on earth decreases, as fewer people live in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God, then the fog of wickedness will increase and people groan.

I don't know about you but I groan about driving in fog. So I want clear righteous order increasing every day.

Live rejoicing in righteousness as you share the Way and watch the groaning diminish.

Who honestly would rather have groaning over rejoicing?

If you would not then the answer is to increase righteousness.

Try a week of fervent attention to your effort not to sin and instead striving for righteous action and see if your week ends with rejoicing or groaning.

Proverbs 29:2 NASB95 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
