Despising Authority

Mankind has a great aversion refusing authority’s commanding rule thinking they always know best but in reality they’re not really cool The human heart is filled with pride authority has to make pride break overpowering it to keep it down showing who’s boss and no fake God’s the absolute authority no human one can really compare for the eternal one is truly king man’s in comparison’s really bare But mankind continues to despise all kinds of authority bar none not realising God reigns supreme on the final; day man can’t run! ('No one despises human authority unless he first despises divine authority' - Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) puritan theologian.)
