Sinning Against Self (Proverbs 20:2)

Mel Brooks once said, "It's good to be the king."

"The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger or angers himself against him sins against his own life." Proverbs 20:2 Amplified

Though there are no kings in our country today, there are those who still have the power. What I mean is we have our bosses. These are the men and women that we should hold in reverence because of the position that they hold. They are not like the kings of old who had the power to banish or even put to death. However, they do still have the power to fire. This is something that I had learned with Denny's. Who knew that doing the right thing would actually provoke someone?
But we must also keep in mind our real King. To deny Him and His power and authority is to sin against our own lives. If we are to deny Him, then we will be denied entrance in to Heaven. The true sin against ourselves is to not call Him Lord of our lives.
