Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
'One rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God.' To make this applicable to all of us we might change the phrase 'rules over men' to the word 'lives.' 'One lives (a life of) righteousness when he lives in the fear of God.' Fear in this sense does not just mean fear in the sense of being afraid. Fear also means respect. We live a righteous life when we respect God. This is something David should have remembered a little more in his life. But from the life of David we today do learn how important it is to live in respect of God. We honor and glorify God with how we live our lives. Let us remember to live a life of righteousness, a life of respect for God, to honor and glorify him for all he has done for us. God bless you.
