NOT SPEAKING EVIL OF A RULER

We are divinely directed through the Word of God, to refrain from cursing or reviling those in positions of authority (Exo. 22:28, Eccl. 10:20). It is interpreted as an instruction to honor the office of leadership, even if the person in it is corrupt or disliked (Rom. 13:1-7).
Furthermore, while individuals are forbidden from speaking evil of rulers, the belief is that God holds all leaders accountable for their actions and will eventually bring justice; therefore, instead of complaining or attacking those in charge, we should endeavor to pray for them (Prov. 21:1, Rom. 12:14, Titus 3:1-2).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Omnipotent God and Eternal King of Glory, for guiding me, through the revelation of Your Word and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, my Helper, so I may never speak evil of anyone placed by You into a position of authority, may mercy triumph over their lives. Please, continue to guide my thoughts so that every word that proceeds from my mouth will remain a blessing and not a curse to those whom honor is due.
Amen!

From Acts 23:5
