Day 347 Dictators | Proverbs 30:21-23

Send us Fan MailDictators21 There are three things that make the earth tremble—     no, four it cannot endure:22 a slave who becomes a king,     an overbearing fool who prospers,23     a bitter woman who finally gets a husband,     a servant girl who supplants her mistress.Hitler is perhaps the most infamous example of a servant-turned-ruler who became unbearable for the world. Another was Idi Amin, who rose from being a simple foot soldier to the brutal dictator of Uganda. Like Hitler, Amin’s rule was marked by cruelty and brutality, a history we must never forget, much like the Holocaust and the Killing Fields of Cambodia.It’s also tragic when a person, whether a man or a woman, is unloved in marriage, and a servant becoming heir to her mistress would have been a great upheaval in the social order of the time.Think about this: Why is a fool who is full of food so unbearable? Remember, Proverbs equates a fool with someone who mocks God, disregards Scripture, and rebels against the natural laws of creation. Such a person, full of resources but lacking wisdom and humility, becomes arrogant and even more difficult to bear.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
