「The king establishes the land by justice,

　But he who receives bribes overthrows it.」　Amen.

One of the reasons for the division between Northern Israel and Southern Judah was the heavy taxation imposed by Solomon's successor, Rehoboam. It is important to know where a ruler's face is turned. A king who rules for his own greed will destroy a nation, while a king who rules righteously for the people will bring happiness. (Proverbs 14:34) “Righteousness exalts a nation,But sin is a reproach to any people.”

　May we listen to the Lord's will today....

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
