Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his. 21 And he changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.
In setting up kings, and permitting them to do things that make no sense to us, God’s plans know no haste and no delay, and in the fullness of time, at the right time, His perfect will would be known.
Therefore, as it pertains to rulers who are given an opportunity to rule, we must be reconciled to the fact that we may not necessarily like those persons, yet for the sake of obeying God’s instructions to us on the structural integrity of society, we should be willing to obey up to a point as we will explain later.
Two instances in the Bible clearly demonstrate what is being said, and we would do well to study with a humble heart and teachable spirit, the providences of God which may seem to make no sense to finite minds. And we should remember that God has not called us primarily to agree with Him, but rather to obey Him.
Exodus 9: 13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
