We may become frustrated at times thinking that praying and fasting are doing no good, God does not seem to be answering, or is altogether ignoring us. It says here that when we have put righteousness in place we will find that the Lord's answer comes quickly. We need to get our hearts and minds right with God.
The nation needed to get rid of oppression, accusation and instead devote themselves to helping the poor. If we look at politics or other areas of power we so often see malice, accusation and underhand methods working together. This sort of operation is supposed to be clever and sophisticated, but it us ultimately useless.
It is when men turn to God and His ways that things will truly start to work smoothly and fruitfulness comes. Then we will be guided by the Lord, and will obtain a good name. If we are devoted to the Lord, then He will make us triumph, and we will truly live in authority. The atheist mocks at the concept of the supernatural, but it is only when we take the supernatural into account that we truly understand life. Only when we remember that it is God who keeps all things going, that He intervenes in life, that we will understand life, and be fully effective.
