This morning I read the four books of the Kings (I & II Samuel, I & II Kings) and also Judges and I & II Chronicles for context. It struck me how consistent God is. The wicked are always dealt with appropriately, promises are always kept (He expects us to keep our promises too) and His Appointed Rulers are always wise. Solomon was the wisest of all. How unlike the shabby communist imitation where high in their lofty citadel, supreme rulers gorge themselves while everyone else starves. Except the toadies who get a few crumbs. Quite a lot probably. But definitely not as equal as the head honcho.
Who would ever accept that style of compassion?
