Grips of Fear
“ And it shall be with him [the king], and he shall read it [book, containing law and the statutes of God] all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes .” (Deuteronomy 17:19 NKJV) Kingship comes with the authority and power that makes any occupant of the throne the subject of fear. Needless to say that the more anyone gain access to the position of authority and power, the more he get weaned from the grip of fear. As man loses the opportunity to be openly challenged, he suddenly begins to understand the corruption in management of privileges for kings. However, a wise man is a consistent student of the law and statutes of God, where he discovers the fear of the Lord, which is a novel grip for kings in control of his domain.
