Give not your strength to those who ruin kings

Proverbs 31 warns Lamuel not to give his strength to those who ruin kings. How then are we to act in the face of what appears to be government injustice, corruption, and fraud? It is said that God has chosen our leaders, that we deserve our leaders as a people, and that we are to obey authority for it comes from God.

Our authority is not just our president and elected officials, but the formative papers of our nation, and, for many, the works of the Bible and Gospel. Ruining a 'king' of America would be to ruin America, but serving America and producing American justice in the face of a tyrannical king to secure America and world justice is a great deed. Obey the laws, review the laws. Obey the courts, refer to the courts. Vote, review the vote. Pay taxes, review the spending programs. Consult the Bible and proverbs in how to spend money and for whom, and how to produce work and for whom.
