Lazy, Selfish Politicians
Sunday, 18 January, 2026
It's a sad thing when kings and rulers are childish and foolish, like Belshazzar, instead of being leaders of honor who live up to their name. The country falls apart and decays when rulers act foolish. Thankfully, the King of kings knew when it was the proper time to feast at a wedding, and when it was time for Him to go to the cross and do His Kingly duty of winning the victory over sin and death. Even when there may be plenty of bread and wine, and a tyrant is living in decadent luxury, there may sometimes still be decay in the works. But you should still watch your words and your thoughts, because these failing kings can be even more dangerous than ever when their kingdoms are collapsing and crumbling. We must still honor the rulers God has placed over us, even if they are not righteous, and we should pray for them to reform themselves. We live in a situation of "already and not yet." Jesus has given us a feast of bread and wine. Our King has won the battle and we know He is coming again. Don't be surprised, though, when childish rulers act like foolish tyrants; and don't put your trust in them. Pray for them, entrust the situation to the Lord, and serve Him. King Jesus still reigns over the nations.
