What kind of “kingdom” do we have?

TODAY’S PROVERBS: A large population is a king’s glory,
but lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin. Proverbs 14:28

Do we have “kingdoms?” In a way, yes, we do. If you have children, own a business, supervise employees, teach, then you are something of a king or queen.

What I believe this passage distills down to is loyalty. Do we promote a wholesome environment that creates long-term loyalty in others? Or do our “subjects” live in fear and manipulation?

People are attracted to power and authority — good or bad. Loyalty can be based on a shared sense of purpose or destiny. Or it can simply be need. We have a choose to lead and guide others on our Father’s path — especially that wisdom’s journey. It’s a sacred trust.

If we are in a place of authority, we can create a Godly “kingdom” of honesty, integrity, safety, positivity, and consistency. Living the Proverbs and God’s word is key to doing this. And that’s a good thing.

May our “kingdom” draw others to wholesome purposes, my friends.
