The enemy doesn't stop with temptations to sin. he's the voice of condemnation, distrust, doubt and lies. He's the accuser of the brethren. Know the voice of God, know whose you are!
Isaiah 52-53: God beholds as beautiful those that declare the gospel and magnify His Name. Rejoice in His salvation. Those that bear the vessels of the Lord must be holy. The Lord is our deliverer and reward. The Lord is beautiful to those who love HIm. He's all wisdom, extolled, exalted and liifted up. Only to those the Lord removes blindness shall see Jesus. Because of our sins and wicked rebellion, He was wounded, it's His blood that atones. Because of us, He bore our iniquities. Why am I so quick to mouth off and retaliate when Jesus went through so much for me-silently? The perfect, spotless, sinless Lamb died for me. Because He died for me, I'm accepted on His behalf. I'm justified, reconciled and adopted.
Romans 13: God is He that ordains all things. Leadership and government choices are of no surprise to HIm. Submit to leadership as much as it's lawful to do so; objecting only when it's contrary to the law of God. Don't get into debt, love with the love of Christ. Fulfill the laws of Christ. Be kindly affectioned one to another. Love more. It's time for a great awakening. Wake from your slumber, walking holy, forsaking sin and evil.
