Proverbs 29:14 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established forever.” (Proverbs 29:14 KJV)

Equal justice is what this passage is calling for a ruler to faithfully execute. When a king casts fair justice on the curve, he will find himself on the curve, too. Cockiness in power brings those in power to powerlessness and ultimate demise. That's what happened to King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who murdered Naboth one of their subjects to possess his land. God pronounced judgment upon him. It is written: “Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: “Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?’ Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’ ”(1 Kings 21:17-19 NIV)

That is how the world's kingdoms go as it rules with injustice, especially on the weak and the innocent. But, the kingdom of the Son of God rules with justice and compassion. His kingdom, where we belong the moment we receive the Lordship of Christ Jesus through grace by faith, is established forever. It is written: “But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” (Hebrews 1:8-9 ESV)

And I Say, AMEN!
