Daratlaaal Readinc: Paalm M. — v A Nation Splits Lemon for May 24, 1969 FEW MEN have made so little out of so much, as the feckless kinglet named Rehoboam. He had everything to begin with: he came from the greatest family in his nation, he had wealth and power, he was the logical man for the throne. But he booted hla own king-

Dr. Foreman

dom away with single speech. It was one of the most foolish speeches on record anywhere. It would seem almost like a work of genius to make so many bloopers In a one-sentence address.

But so it was. There stands Rehoboam, the leader who did not know how to lead; the leader deluded, the leader forsaken. And there went the kingdom which David had shed so much blood to build, the kingdom over which Solomon had reigned in all his glory—gone, gone for good. It was split once for all. It never grew together again. It is a perfect example of how bad leadership can split what should have been united. Wherever you find a split church, a split nation, you can count on It, some bad leadership is at the bottom of It. Why the Prince Learned Nothing One reason for Rehoboam’s dismal failure was that he asked the right questions of the wrong people. Jeroboam, who had a right to ask questions, had asked one that stumped poor Rehoboam the very first thing. He doe* not seem to have thought about it before:' What about taxes? The burden of taxation had been heavy in Solomon’s time. What was to be his son's policy? Rehoboam asked the men of experience, and he didn’t like their answer. So he tried the men of no experience, and he got just the kind of twaddle he liked to hear. How can a man be so wrong ? And yet, isn’t it true today that there are would-be leaders, sometimes with considerable following, who learn nothing from experience ? A man who learns nothing from history, who scorns to take advice from wiser men, who listens to the poorest advice rather than the best, who hears only what he wants to hear—such men are not unknown in the life of church and nation. Government for Whom? 1 Another mistake Rehoboam made was to forget why government exists. He thought of it as an arrangement for his own benefit. This is not a notion that got buried with Rehoboam. The notion outlived him by many centuries and is still with us. There are politicians in our country who may belong to one party or another, what the party stands for makes little difference with them, what they are interested in is winning elections so as to get political jobs. Government, in their eyes, is for the benefit of the politician, the man in the government job. The truth is, that when government really is only for the officeholder’s benefit, it is time for a revolution. The real alm of good government is the benefit of the people. If the people are benefited, then the government is good; otherwise not The people of Israel had had it hard in Solomon’s time. "My father [Solomon] chastised you with whips,” said Rehoboam. In other words, “You took a beating.’’ Rehoboam thought that was a good thing. But the people didn’t. Where Does Power Come From? It did not occur to Rehoboam (who was about 40 years old at this time and had had time to learn, but never did) that if he was to be king at all he would have to be elected. Saul and David and Solomon had all been elected by the people. Our American idea of government with the consent of the governed isn’t the whole idea. Government by the people, by their will and choice, is not merely an American idea. It goes back to the ancient Hebrews. You can find it in Deuteronomy 17 already. But poor stupid Rehoboam didn’t discover this till too late. He thought if he shook his sword and shouted, it would be enough. It would have been, if power comes from the top down. It is not, in a country where the power is in the people. Power comes first of all from God. But ho knows (and wo find out soon enough) how dangerous power i« when one man trios to steal it aJL

God's Word Rev. J. R. Meadows God’s Word is a shining light that is adequate to lead us safely through the darkness of this world. It is a revealing light. In it we gee ourselves as we really are. It reveals how helpless we are without the love of God in our hearts, and how weak we are without His power to overcome the things of this world. Many fear this penetrating light and seek to avoid the truth it brings to light. It is too revealing. Works of darkness cannot abide in the light of God’s Word. But for the true seeker after truth God’s Word reveals more. It reveals Him who is the Light of the world, Jesus Christ. It reveals the Saviour. It guides us to Calvery where we may be clensed and purified. Without the Light of Goa’s Word we groupe in darkness and despair as lost and miserable creatures. How we
