When God Says …
“Many seek the ruler's favour; But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.” (Proverbs 29:26 KJV)
Here is a warning of the world's and religion's patronage system. Many indeed ride on the coattails of the influential, the famous, the powerful and others they idolize. 'Hoping for favors and perhaps protection, some pander on them. But the reality is, they all have no say! Maybe, on the surface and perhaps, for things the world admires. Of fleeting things perhaps, they seem able to 'pretend' they have a say, but not on matters of eternal life and heavenly significance.
As the saying goes: 'It is not what you know, but it is who you know that matters.' That is both for here in this life and for eternity. The only ruler and power we should know and seek favor from is Christ Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is truly the One who holds in His hands, our life now and our destiny, in this world and the next. His approval and blessing are of utmost importance, where none compares. Nothing else matter, no matter how powerful they might seem to be. Let us receive Him, our Redeemer and Lord Jesus Christ and His Words today, and seek His blessing by faith and total reliance in His grace.
The Words He speaks have the last say on the last day. As it is written, Lord Jesus says: “If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.” (John 12:47-48 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
