Proverbs 29

Where do you seek out justice? To whom do you plead for equitable treatment? I know that when I was young that Mom and Dad determined when I had been wronged. (Though very often they ruled that I was the guilty one) As I grew older there were other authority figures who laid out what was just. But the writer of this chapter makes it clear there is only one ruler who can rightly proclaim our fate. Only God has the ultimate authority.(vs 26) If we look to others first we are wasting our time. David's life followed this precept, as should mine.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this chapter.
