Ecclesiastes
7:7 Surely oppression makes the
wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the mind.
Most people are naturally corrupt, and it is the nature of a community
to place rules and systems in place in order to reduce this natural tendency
for the good of others. So a little thing like a diary and someone to make
appointments for a driver or learners licence prevents officials using a first
come, first pays system to get tested. Those that have money or clout in the
community may not have to queue.
Now towns like Bela Bela in Limpopo Province
do not believe in appointments, so you will see young people standing outside
the Municipal Offices from as early as 4am, waiting to be accepted for a
learner licence test. This allows for corruption and brings these learners into
the place of expecting to stand in lines and waiting the privilege of a poorly
educated official to help them.
Wisdom is necessary to understand that God places systems and rules of
living to help us overcome corruption. Corruption creeps in every where when
honest men let it.
Be encouraged to make a stand against corruption in any form.
David
Point to ponder: God hates corruption.
