"Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, His wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven." Psalm 107:23-30

They must fear

There's a certain right that Americans have today as given in the constitution that has come under serious fire in recent years, months, and even more so in recent weeks.

And the stance seems to mostly vary from agreeing with the right being taken away to being mediocre on it.

My husband had a conversation in which some people didn't feel the right should necessarily be taken away but that they could see it being...lessened. And the thought was, "I can see how we don't need..." this or that part of the right. I mean, it's not really necessary.

And my very wise husband said, "You may not feel you need this specific part of the right, but do you see, if you allow them to tell you what you need and what you don't under a given right, then what about when they decide that you don't really need to worship in a church, or on a Sunday? What about when they tell you you don't really need this much wealth or that big of a home or that nice of a car? It is not up to them to tell us what we need. They must fear the people so that they are not able to abuse the people."
