Frustrated with Leadership? | Ecclesiastes 8:2-5
Frustrated with leadership? Maybe a boss, a pastor, or even a political leader? It’s easy to question authority, especially when decisions seem unclear or even unfair.
Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day.
Today, we’re looking at Ecclesiastes 8:2-5:
I say: Keep the king's command, because of God's oath to him. Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, “What are you doing?” Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way. — Ecclesiastes 8:2-5
Solomon’s not saying obey blindly—he’s saying recognize that authority comes from God (Romans 13:1). Leadership isn’t always perfect, but rebelling against it can put us in a dangerous position.
He warns, “Don’t be hasty to leave the king’s presence.” In other words—don’t walk away too quickly. Frustration with leadership can tempt us to quit, but wisdom calls for patience.
And then this—“Don’t take your stand in an evil cause.” There’s a right way and a wrong way to push back. The wise person knows when to speak and how to speak. Timing matters.
So, what do we do? Three things:
☑️ Struggling with leadership? Instead of reacting—pray for wisdom.
☑️ Before challenging authority—ask: Is this the right time and way?
☑️ Trust God. Even when leadership isn’t perfect—He is.
