Proverbs 29:26 (KJV) Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

One of the disadvantages of living in a republic, and believing that we have freedom of speech is that we tend to express our concerns to the government and think they’re going to do something about it.  That works more here than it does say in Soviet Russia, but it doesn’t work the way we want it to.

I wouldn’t say don’t keep trying to go through channels, but I would say, as this verse seems to say, is that the justice that we want in the form of proper judgment is ultimately going to come from God and not from our local officials.  They may be the ones who will actually sign the papers, but it will be God demanding the signature.

So?  Seek what God wants.  Share with him your concerns. Do what you can on a human level. Ultimately trust him.
