AUTHORITY TO WORDS

Proverbs 17:15 LXX (17:14)

The foundation of righteousness gives authority to words,
But discord and quarreling precede poverty.

Person Challenge

We have seen so much bluster and rhetoric in our world over the last few decades. So many in power, or desiring power, are spewing words that they believe are authoritative when in reality they are nothing more than noise, clanging cymbols. It is because their words come from the place of discord and quarrelling. They have no foundation of righteousness and therefore no authority. If we desire to see a difference, then the foundation must be changed. Lord, have mercy on our country and our world!
