Right King

Proverbs 25:5
Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Take away meaning there's wickedness there. Can't take something away if it's not there to start with. I have 4 apples I take 2 away and I have 2 apples left. 
First time we read the word "WICKEDNESS" in the Bible is in
Genesis 6:5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Wow look at it at where this wickedness was in mans movie theater of his mind, thoughts which were in his heart. The wickedness is already there but no one can see it. It's like electricity it's there you just can't see it but when you plug the lamp up to it, it lights up. So it is with wickedness plug the right thing up to it and it will light up. Remove the wickedness and establish it with "RIGHTEOUSNESS"  and things will light up differently. Abram whom God would change his name to Abraham was given a promised from God that he would have a son that came from his own Bowels. The first time we read this word "RIGHTEOUSNESS" is in 
Genesis 15:6
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
The Son whom God promised would be Isaac, Isaac is an Old Testament picture of one who is to come; Jesus Christ.

Then to get "WICKEDNESS" out of my Imagination, Thoughts and Heart is to allow more Jesus in.
First time we read the word "THOUGHT" in the New Testament is in.
Matthew 1:20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Wickedness had moved into Joseph thoughts. He finds out the woman he loves is pregnant and he knows it's not his.
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Joseph decides to just put her away privately.
Matthew 1:19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he though on these things. 
He did the thinking, he let his imagination run wild and the Lord had to take away the wicked thinking. Same thing in my life. Put myself in Joseph place and I would have the same though pattern. It's worldly thinking, I must turn worldly thinking into Godly thinking.

Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Change my thinking and the right King will be enthroned.
