Trinity Kings World Leadership: Servanthood: The Quality of a Leader Who Last
Ecclesiastes 8:1-9Amplified Bible (AMP) Obey Rulers 8 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man’s wisdom illumines his face, And causes his stern face to beam. 2 I counsel you to keep the command of the king because of the oath before God [by which you swore loyalty to him]. 3 Do not be in a hurry to get out of his presence. Do not join in a malevolent matter, for the king will do whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of a king is authoritative and powerful, And who will say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 Whoever keeps and observes a royal command will experience neither trouble nor misery; For a wise heart will know the [a]proper time and [appropriate] procedure. 6 For there is a [b]proper time and [appropriate] procedure for every delight, Though mankind’s misery and trouble lies heavily upon him [who rebels against the king]. 7 For no one knows what will happen; So who can tell him how and when it will happen? 8 There is no man who has power and authority over the wind to restrain the wind, Nor does he have authority over the day of death; There is no discharge [from service] during time of war, And evil will not rescue those who [actively seek to] practice it. 9 All this I have seen while applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has exercised power over others to their detriment.
