God says that those in power
are His ministers (Romans 13:1,6)
and that they are to be highly regarded and that He places the humblest
of men there:.Daniel
4:17 ".....to the intent that the living may know that the most High
rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will and sets
up over it the basest.(original
Hebrew is 'humblest').of
men.".But
why then do we have arrogant
and tyrannical
leaders?
Numbers
12:1-9 shows not to deride
those in positions of power, but rather support them in things of love
(which things are always the way of God), if indeed you find any expressions
of such by them, and pray for them.
So that a person can be sensed
to be appreciative of mercy, a judge and others in power need insight.
That comes from knowing the truth regarding righteousness, as this allows
more of a thing called the Holy Spirit, the nature of God to be in one:.2Samuel
23:3 ".....He that rules over man must be just.(original
Hebrew is 'righteous'), ruling in the
fear of God.(realizing
that he must seek and try to understand as God Himself does:.Philippians
2:5,6)."
Turn off the TV and take
time for praying for these men. It will benefit the whole country in many
wonderful ways.
The more of God that is in
these men that He has placed there, the more everyone will be blessed and
the country will reside safely as God will ensure that this high
character of concern for others and the people possessing it and affected
by it are protected. It is God's will that high character standards be
exposed to all:.John
13:35.
One with any part of God's
mind, be it mercy, kindness, patience, generosity, forgiveness, wisdom,
encouragement, humility, enthusiasm and even humor and lightheartedness,
will be lifted up by God as an example others can see to emulate.
It is just set up automatically to work this way. God wants us to
exhibit high standards.....continues
