There are many things in the Bible that are counter intuitive. I wrote yesterday about Humble Confidence, words which don’t appear, on the surface, to be a logical combination.

Proverbs 20:28 gives us some additional wisdom that sounds contrary to a simple world view, saying, “Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure.”

Intimidation and dominance will keep people following a leader when they are required to, but a leader who truly cares about, loves, his or her people will receive the same in return, and receive the allegiance and commitment from his or her team. There is no greater example of this than Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord, There is so much wisdom available to us in the Bible; Useful for us in our walk of faith, but also in how we live our lives in work, school, and family. Help us read and meditate on your word out of our love for You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
