Psalms 62:11 (ESV Strong's)
Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
Subject: Leadership and Power
It is no secret that man thrives on power. Although the majority who run for political office due so with a servant spirit based upon idealistic visions, most stay in office and corrupt that very office because they have an unquenchable thirst for power. Men love to inflict power over other men. It is in our sin nature to do so. Yet, in the above passage we see that power belongs to God. NO ONE who is currently in power (of any kind) who wasn't put their by God. Often, the socialist believes that power flows up. However, in the theologian's belief, based upon this verse, power flows down; but not from men in high places, but from God. We need to realize in leadership that our power doesn't come from what men give us in these positions, but in what God allows for His glory. Power belongs to God!!
