Ecclesiastes 8: 2I say, “Keep the command of the king because of the oath before God. 3“Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.” 4Since the word of the king is authoritative, who will say to him, “What are you doing?”
People don’t seem to understand God is in control. He anoints rulers, meaning He puts kings or presidents in power for His purpose.
So when scripture tells us, ““Keep the command of the king because of the oath before God.” It means, follow the laws of your government because of your oath, your belief in God. To not do so, is not believing God is in control and sinning against God.
The only exception in this would be if the laws contradict Gods law.
We have situation unfolding right now with the FBI and the Department of Justice in which the previous administration unlawfully spied on a incoming president, installed people in power to resist his incoming authority committing a conspiracy with felonies by violating law and the constitution. Yesterday congress sent the DOJ a letter asking for indictments of powerful individuals in the previous administration. Wether you agree or not with our current President these people who are named in this letter broke Gods law.
What can you do? Pray that Gods will be done, pray for our government, pray for your president and his administration and pray for his family.
Jesus, on the cross prayed to the Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
If Jesus can pray for His persecutors you can pray for your government wether you agree with them or not.
Blessings, David
