So often I have heard and/ or have been part of a conversation that complains about politics or some situation with which I am frustrated, but I offer no resolution. It is easy to complain, the Children of Israel seemed to make a profession out of it as do many believers today.
But God does not instruct us to not do something without offering an alternative action, a resolution if you will. He says we should turn away from evil AND to do good, to seek peace and pursue it". (1 Peter 3:10-12).
The word pursue indicates to me time and effort. It is not what comes naturally. It takes yielding our will to the Holy Spirit and using the effort it takes to make biblical choices.
