What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. (James 4:1-3)
The only true King is King Jesus, and His Father who gave Him the throne. He is the only King who is always working to love, bless and bring all peoples into His Kingdom. As we look through history, we see--every so often--a ruler who takes the responsibility of governing seriously, and seeks to exercise authority to govern wisely in a way that benefits the people. We see LOTS of rulers who sought to indulge themselves with the power and wealth of the office. The painful truth is that every dictator, or dictator wannabe, is simply a counterfeit king, regardless of the title they bear.
"Be careful what you ask for....God just might give it to you."
