"He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." --II Samuel 23:3b (KJV)
These were among the last words of King David, words given by God. These words stipulate two requirements for one who would be a leader. 1) He must exercise justice toward men and 2) he must honor God.
Think about that.
And have a wonderful Sunday!
Love that verse and your commentary David.
ReplyDeleteJust finished, "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption", a gut wrenching book about justice in America. In it the author says:
"The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned."
The book is a difficult read but I highly recommend it.
KC Bob, given your recent reading you might appreciate the notes on the sermon I heard this morning. http://bobwarr.blogspot.com/2016/09/we-reach-out.html
