3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
Proverbs 25
While true of kings and presidents, the wisdom of this proverb applies to all authority. Fathers make decisions for families. Business owners do things that employees don’t understand. Pastors oversee the flock of God with burdens, convictions, knowledge, and goals unknown to most of the members.
How can you apply the proverb? Honor leaders, even in your thoughts, even when their decisions look wrong (Eccl 10:20; I Kgs 12:1-4; I Pet 2:13-17). Honor your parents by respecting their rules and desires (Pr 30:17; Deut 27:16; Eph 6:1-3). Serve your masters as serving Christ, even when they are unfair (Eph 6:5-8; I Pet 2:18-23). Obey your pastor as one who has a deep, holy duty for your soul (Heb 13:7,17).
If you are concerned about the decisions being made and the future of your nation, then pray for your rulers. Do not criticize them – pray for them! This is the will of God for you, even when the rulers are oppressive pagans (I Tim 2:1-3; Jer 29:4-7; Ezra 6:10). Who cares about their agendas, since our God is totally in charge (Dan 2:20-22)!
There is one King we will never search out. He is the King of kings, our Lord Jesus Christ, “do we honor this King? Do we trust Him?
God bless you
