As messengers of death is the king’s wrath, But a wise man, will appease it. In the light of the king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. (Proverbs 16:14, 15 NKJV)
He uses the consequence for dishonoring earthly kings as analogy for drawing the wrath of the one who has power over life and death. But, a wise man who served with knowledge of royalty protocol makes the difference in appeasing the ire of the King of Kings.
One such example we can mirror on and learn from is the devotion of Mordecai to serve his earthly king, which is a reflection of His faithfulness to his Heavenly King. (Esther 6)
His earthly king bestowed honor upon him, as it is written: "So Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What should be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” And Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set. And let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king’s most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, proclaiming before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.’” Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry; take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.” So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.” (Esther 6:6-11 ESV)
And I say ... AMEN!
