AUTHORITY

Proverbs 29:2
When the godly are in
authority, the people rejoice.
But when the wicked are
in power, they groan.



Many Christians isolate themselves away from the mainstream of society for fear of possibly embracing or being influenced by worldly things. This approach really doesn't work. The better way is to insulate oneself from the influences of the world, not to isolate oneself. If God's people truly desire Christ-like leaders for the world, then the world must not be left to the worldly and unrighteous. Christians have an obligation to engage in the leadership of our towns, cities, states and nations because when the Godly are in authority, the people are happy. When leadership, however, is held by the unrighteous and wicked, we will all be groaning. Are the leaders in your life Godly people?
