Proverbs 28:12
When
righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory:
but when
the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
Oh that the
authority over us would be righteous and not wicked. When we have righteous people over us things
are so wonderful. We sense the safety
and covering of those who seek the Lord and rule according to His ways. We are not afraid of their moods and
changes. We know they are seeking to
please the Lord and honor Him. When the
wicked rise to power we almost brace ourselves for the unexpected. There is self-centered decision making and
favoritism. There are double standards
to be expected and most likely deception and bad examples to be dealt with. Lord, we pray we could be righteous in our
places of authority you have given us and we pray that you will protect us from
having the wicked rise to power over us.
