What If
What if I had the Authority, Power
As destined by God over my fellowmen?
Would I be like Abraham, Joseph, Moses
And other Leaders of Olden Times?
Chosen by God for full Authority,
Blessed into the position I hold!
With angels "flying" before my way,
As they led God's people through the desert.
What if I should abuse such Authority,
Would God be displeased as He once was
with Kings and Leaders; that passed through
The the Historic Times of humankind?
What if, with ALL that is in me
I do my best as a man, to aid
And direct my fellowmen as God wills, and
Help to care for his Earth like He asked us to?
Exodus 3:2; Exodus 23:20 Psalms 34:7; Psalms 91:11-12; Romans 13:1-2. ("...for there is no authority except by God...Therefore he who opposes the Authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God..." (NWT
