Proverbs 16:10
A
divine sentence is in the lips of the king:
his
mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
The authority God has over us is
divine. He has set those over us to guide us in His ways. If we would naturally go a certain way then
we wouldn’t need people outside of us implementing boundaries and rules that
can force us to submit in areas we can be oblivious to. If our manager asks us to do something then
we most likely wouldn’t have chosen that task ourselves. If our husbands make a decision we must
conform to, most likely we weren’t going to include that course in our
lives. This means that the divine
sentencing in our lives is often through earthly authority. We must approach the decisions of those in
authority over us with gratefulness and a realization that the Lord might very
well be using them to protect us or challenge us in ways we would never have
chosen ourselves.
