Scriptures to Live By    
   
   God allows humans to experience the consequences of sin - whether by others or ourselves. It is not God who tempts...

...each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is ... enticed. 

James 1:13

While we wait for God to put an end to corrupt, evil, imperfect governments

and replace them with himself, here are a few scriptures to live by: 

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:12

   The risen Jesus told Saul (Paul):

I am sending you to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light,

and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness

of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

Acts 26:17-18

   While we endure consequences and trials, God supplies peace, strength, hope, mercy, grace and help: Philippians 4:6-7, 13; Ephesians 3:16; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 15:30-32; Colossians 4:3.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 
If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:28, 33

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 

in all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6
