Where is God in the choice?

When we leave out God, we create chaos.

So the Prime Minister is speaking to an all-important matter of a man-woman relationship.

A relationship that normally has marriage as a consideration. Yet nowhere in his conversation is there mention of God. He is advising the women of this nation to choose their spouses only through their eyes.

The flesh is the only means of choosing a spouse in this present age. This is the main problem that is causing family life decay in our nation. We are choosing our spouses without consulting God. God is the one who instituted marriage and if He is left out of marriage and family life we will be heading for chaos.

As nation we are taking too long to recognise our downfall.

Our downfall is the fact that we have turned our back on God and we are reaping the consequences of our choices.

Finally the head honcho in our fight against the crime scourge, acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams, comes to the realisation that we have left out God in the fight against crime and “we are in perilous times.” At the seventh of the nine interfaith services being held nationwide by the Police Service, he said the TT PS believes it has arrived at the point where it is a necessity for the officers to go beyond hard work and seek “a level of divine intervention” and called upon God for guidance, “to provide what we cannot provide.” Williams said after the completion of the nine services, the TT PS intends to have a voluntary day of prayer and fasting.

The commissioner sounded like a preacher. However his sincerity really sent home the message of helplessness of mortal man in the face of failure. But he has hope in the all-sufficient God and therefore he is calling out God to help our nation. His choice is God and God alone.

So I cannot understand how our Prime Minister left out God in his advice on woman- man relationship. There are so many influential people and organisations in this nation who have no regard for God.

When one listens to some women and the feminist movement speak, one is amazed about their regard for God. Are they hearing their “conscience message” when they are walking crooked before God? There seems to be a mixup between human rights and morality by these women. Human rights ought not to be a gateway for immorality in our society. Why should we allow the moral fabric of our nation to be eroded in the name of human rights? Is it a human right to walk our streets in seminude/ suggestive attire? When it comes to attire, the choice of God is modesty.

Modesty in attire is a rear commodity in our nation. And in this Carnival season, most women think it is their human right to walk the streets in semi-nude or suggestive attire.

What is the Government doing about this dress problem? This is a problem that seems to be on the backcloth of violence against women. Women should be aware of this problem and should seek to work with it.

However, there seems to be a presumptuous posture by women that it is their human right to dress/do as they please and they are not listening to anybody.

So one can understand why they unleashed their fury on the Prime Minister for his advice.

Some of these women were so furious the following morning that Diana Mahabir- Wyatt met them in her office blaming the Prime Minister for his simple advice. Why didn’t she encourage them to have a devotional time before they work instead?
