Water shortages and bad roads are common in Bangalore, but the recent response of local elected leaders to these problems is shocking. A recent newspaper article stated that in areas which did not vote for the elected leaders, the elected officials refused to do anything to improve conditions. The attitude of some politicians seems to be if you did not elect me then I will not work on your behalf.
Please read 1 Timothy 2: 1-4: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
In accordance with these verses, please stop and pray for the elected leaders serving in Bangalore. Pray for their salvation and that they will not respond to needs in selfish or vindictive ways.
