It is crucial to be mindful of how we use power and where it comes from. Power should never be taken for granted, as it has the potential to undermine the very foundations of our society. Whether it be through government, religion, media, art, culture, or other forms of influence, power derives from God and should be handled with wisdom. Knowledge, economics, unity, faith, and other virtues can be used to leverage power, but without wisdom, it is dangerous and can be devastating when placed in the wrong hands. Education, life experiences, morality, and faith are essential in cultivating wisdom, without which we face the deadly poison of ignorance. Those who do not have respect for power and wisdom should not be granted such authority, for they are sure to cause destruction. David shares in Psalm 62:11 that power belongs to God, and it is only through seeking Him and valuing His wisdom that we can safely handle the crucial responsibility of power.
