Micah the prophet said that the “high places” (or the places everyone looked to for their directions for how to live) had become Samaria and Jerusalem. These are the places where the kings sat—the political places, the places where men exerted their influence.
We can make politicians our gods—our high places—when we allow their words to carry more weight than God’s Word. As Chuck Colson used to say, “Salvation doesn’t arrive on Air Force One.”
Our problem is a singular problem: sin.
Our solution is just as singular: Jesus.
Stop elevating man’s opinion. Stop looking to humans to fix a spiritual problem. Don’t make high places on earth, but look to our Heavenly Father to bring His Kingdom on earth.
”Though all the peoples walk each in the name of his god, as for us, we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.“ (Micah 4:5).
