Lessons from the Kings
The Lord had
been King over Israel, right from the time Abraham was called and asked to go
to a land where God would show him.
All through
their History from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob and His 12 sons, Through the
slavery in Egypt and the appointment of Moses to lead them out of Egypt to the
promised land. All through the wilderness God was leading, judging and guiding
His chosen people. God led them to conquer Canaan and the fear of them was on
all the inhabitants of the land. He appointed judges for them and prophets to
give them directions and to serve as the middlemen between them and God.
And then they looked
around, “we are different, we need to be like the other nations” we need a
physical King who will fight our battles for us – They had forgotten the King
the captain of the host of the Lord who fought for them and conquered fortified
cities like Jericho – They requested for a King and God granted their request.
He gave them King, and Kings and Kings, What manner of Kings? What can we learn
from them – here we go!
