Passage of the Day - May 31, 2011

Ecclesiastes 8:4

⁴ Since the word of the king is authoritative, who will say to him, “What are you doing?”

Where do I even begin with this one?  This is difficult to understand as an American, but it is perfectly applicable to our other authority structures.  It is our civic duty to question the government, but it is not wise to question our parents, husbands, or bosses.  Stick with me here.  It is fine to clarify and provide different perspectives, but when the declaration is made, do not question.
