“Behold a king will reign in righteousness.” Isaiah 32:1
We are constantly looking
for the perfect ruler. Each election cycle everyone promises to be just that –
the perfect ruler. Then, of course, we discover we’ve been had and there is
another election cycle when men can make empty promises all over again. Still
we bite on each and every phony line that is tossed into our pond because we
really do want that perfect ruler. (My book “Christian Citizen in Modern
America” deals with this cycle of disappointment.)
We’ll call this cycle of
desperation the “Need of Eden”. We had the perfect leader and the perfect world
to enjoy with Him, but we blew it. We chose sin and disappointment and that is
what we have had in spades for millennia. But there will be the perfect leader
when Jesus comes back. That is the promise of the Second Advent. The right Man
will rule again, and He will rule forever. Praise God this world we now have
isn’t all there is ever going to be.
Dear Father, Help us not to
trust in man but look expectantly for the true King. Amen.
