"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;"
King James Version
What does Isaiah 10:1 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
Complete control corrupts entirely since it allows us to acquire things we shouldn't and makes us forget our origins by enabling us to ignore the cries of the oppressed. Complete power corrupts because only God is able to control all power! Our desire for it is the thirst to be God, which is similar to the sin committed by Adam and Eve. True power, however, is utilized to help the weak, uplift the unfortunate, pardon the guilty, and support the helpless. It is power acceptable to the Complete Power.
Prayer
Almighty and incomparable God, I don't want to use my time to put myself in a position where I can control others. Give me the grace, the capability, and the chance to benefit others, not so I can feel important or superior, but so they may be blessed and You can be thanked. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
