He sat on the floor of his house, like one of the commoners who daily thronged him at the height of his days in power and privilege. The sizable estate was still there, but despite the commanding voice, the crowd of hangers-on had thinned out. It was another statement in the transience of human power.

?Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are obtained of God.? ? Romans 13: 1 (KJV)

Understand your limits.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
