It practically damages my heart to check out through the eighth phase of [Photo] 1 Samuel in the Old Testimony. It was so not in the heart of the LORD to put an earthly king over individuals of Israel. He might not have actually been anymore clear, nor a lot more particular, in His cautions to individuals concerning such https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sw_4UsvDQ4/ compared with that of monarchical Europe. He wrote "My God! Exactly how little do my fellow citizens recognize just what precious true blessings they are in property of and which nothing else people in the world take pleasure in. I admit I had no concept of it myself." (Ibid.) Though Jefferson was completely familiar with flaws in the American system, as is true today still, his idea was that federal government of and for the People might be fixed and also enhanced by the Individuals - "whereas the wickedness of autarchic federal government are beyond solution." (Ibid.)
A solitary human leader wielding all power is the formula for tyranny. As well as if you think concerning it, why would certainly an individual also want to be all effective? To determine concerning the lives of others? The answers do not bode well for those under that person's regulation. Strengthening a god complex is one answer that strikes me. Which brings to mind one more Old Testament occasion, when Lucifer (which suggests 'day star', btw - interesting ...) made this determination in his heart: "I will certainly worship my throne above the celebrities of God ... I will be like one of the most High." (Isaiah 14:13, 14, KJV) Meaning to worship one's self as God, nonetheless, has this result: "... thou shalt be brought down to heck, to the sides of the pit." (Isaiah 14: 15, KJV). God facilities are not healthy. They do not bring health to individuals.
Power and also authority are with God, and also come from Him (Romans 13: 1). Our use of it, when it remains in our jurisdiction to do so, whether in the family members, on the work, or in the governing of a country, requires constantly to be to safeguard and also offer. The temptation is to abuse power, applying it to fulfill one's very own needs/desires - the difficulty to successfully manage it needs His poise, which as its pre-requisite calls for subsequently our desire to obtain it.
