Proverbs - Majority Does NOT Rule



Proverbs 16:5

 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord:
though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

When people vote on something they can think that they are right.  The majority does not determine righteousness.  Sometimes the most charismatic and influential people can steer opinion in a direction that is contrary to the Lord.  With the humble there is wisdom and an ability to choose what is right apart from others agreeing with us.  When we are making decision in arrogance, something within us wants to get affirmation from others.  When we are doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord, we can stand alone.  It is important for us to submit these choices to the Lord and believe He is pleased in order to stand up against ‘hand joining in hand’.
