When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. (Proverbs 29:2)

Today, we are going the examine the word, “authority” and how it relates to the practical and biblical principles for “Spiritual” growth. In actually, authority represents the “influence” someone has over you to either bring life or death.  

In the context of the scripture, when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice. This is not some people, but all people across the world. What is righteous? Doing according to that which is right, yielding to all their due, just, free from wrong, guilt, or sin, holy, integrity, high-minded principles, and trustworthy. A righteous person is “Fearless” in his or her righteous cause aligned with the biblical principles. What is wicked? Evil in principle or practice, deviating from morality, contrary to moral or divine law, addicted to sin, immoral, abominable, reprobate, disgraceful, and cursed. A wicked person seeks to have complete “Control” over a person to stop the progression of abundant life and an under-minded person.
