When God says...
“Mercy and truth preserve the king, And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne.” (Proverbs 20:28 NKJV)
He gives two important virtues of mercy and truth to establish and preserve authority in leadership. No worse causes of degeneration in leadership authority than cruelty and lie. Abuse of power and oppressive imposition of leadership weaken a kingdom, a nation, a business, a family and every kind of unit in society. Worst of all, when such kind of leadership is navigating on the lane of deceit and falsehood, collapse comes in a rapid pace. Sad images of families breaking down, businesses ruined, kingdoms and nations free-falling in the chasm of anarchy are heart-breaking to watch. We saw it happened many times in our short history.
News flash! Timeline – NOW! These are all happening around us. And, that's a place God hates to see us to be in. He loves us so much! That's not in His plans for us. Hence, He draws us unto virtues from His Words to set our footings strong on mercy and truth. And, in His lovingkindness, let us embrace the domain God has blessed us, with full trust upon Him by His grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. He will preserve, as David declared in these words: "O Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice! You have given him his heart's desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head. For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.” (Psalms 21:1-3, 6, 7 NASB)
And I say, AMEN!
