Kings are called to be in touch with reality. God’s glory is “to conceal things, but kings is to search things out”(25: 2) A good king is the one who is searching out to know the reality of his people. Also a good king is one who look for proper advice to lead his people in righteousness.(25:4-5)
we are not kings, but are leaders in different areas in our society. we are parents, husbands or wives, teachers ,pastors, business people, etc. Our duty is to be informed about the reality of our people and strive for the proper advice to help and encourage them.
The other thing that called my attention in this chapter is the advice of how to deal with our enemies.Revange is not recomended, but compassion. Compassion expressed by deeds not by words. The writer says: “If your enemies are hungry, give them bread to eat; and if they are thirsty, give them water to drink; for you will heap coals of fire on their heads, and the Lord will reward you” (25:21-22
Our call is a call of compassion not of revenge. So make sure that when your enemies stumble you can bless them, not curse them.
