Solomon in his wisdom declared, “If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, don’t abandon your position, for your calmness can solve great problems.” [Ecc. 10:4]

Our natural tendency is to run or allow suspicion to rule.

Don’t! Take a breath, take control of yourself. and allow the Lord to determine the outcome of any friction between you and the ruler. Give God a chance to intervene.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I will trust in Your Word and Your wisdom when I have conflict with someone in authority over me. Even as You did not open Your mouith, Lord Jesus, when You were reviled, I will hold my peace and trust.
