Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?  In the world of Solomon, the king's word was all powerful.  A person did not question what the king said.  In our world, here in America at least, we do not have one person who has that authority, so we may freely question why our leaders are doing something.  We may even question a law, but unless it goes against the teachings of God, we are still to obey it.  Many people in the world do not have this freedom, and are never free to question the ruler or rulers.  We as followers of Christ have one ruler we should never question, though, and that is God.  What God says will always be true.  Verse five continues with, Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.  If we are obeying the law, we do not have to fear that law.  Just as an example from today's world, have you ever found yourself looking at the speedometer with one eye and looking for the police with the other, because you know you are speeding?  If we are driving within the speed limit, and not by how much over we think we can get by with, we don't have to look for the police.  We may even want to see how far we can stray from God's laws and not get caught.  When we are looking around to see who is watching, be sure that God is.  When it comes to the law of man, if we feel that a law is wrong, we need to use wisdom and judgment in attempting to change it.  If we feel the need for civil disobedience, we must make sure that we are doing it under the leadership of God and doing it in a civil manner.  God will never lead us to riot and destroy simply to show our anger or to enrich ourselves.  If people are oppressed enough, as in many countries today, they may rise up in rebellion.  If so, they need the knowledge and understanding to replace the corrupt government with something better, or nothing will really change.  When we become followers of Christ, we not only renounce our sinful nature, but we replace it with a new nature that is led by the Holy Spirit.  This is definitely a better plan.
