Proverbs - The Mama King

Proverbs 16:12-15

 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:

for the throne is established by righteousness.

 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;
and they love him that speaketh right.

 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death:

but a wise man will pacify it.

 In the light of the king's countenance is life;

and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

Look at this as a mother, who is ‘king’ over her children and you will understand this even better.

Wickedness, wrong choices are an abomination to the mother.  When people are doing what is right, the position of mother is exalted. When people are speaking the truth and what is right, mom is delighted. Moms love to hear the voices under them speaking right thing. When mom is upset those under her are ready to receive punishment. A wise child will admit to what is wrong and mom will settle down. When mom is blessed by her children, everyone under her comes out ahead. When mom is proud of her children it is refreshing to be around her.
