I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
I see a couple of life observations in this verse.
True leaders lead on ground level.
They don’t believe themselves to be better than the people they lead. But those who ought not lead often take far too much pleasure in the “perks” of position.
Our world is such a backward and corrupt place that those who ought to lead are too often relegated to lower places while those who cannot lead are elevated.
I think it happened in the 2020 elections. A man who can lead but is a friend to the working class got “cancelled” while a man who has a proven record of poor leadership and whose mental competence is at the very least questionable was placed into office. Most of us, I think even his supporters, know it had to have been a corrupted process that brought this about.
This world is not as God made it.
It is defiled through sin. The answer to our world’s crisis is not through government or even good leaders. The answer is Jesus Christ. Solid, sound and several churches must be founded. The Word of God must go forth. Souls must be saved, baptized, and instructed in the Word. Of course, godly people must vote, and wise people must offer themselves for public service, but the focus has to turn to God and to what concerns Him.
In the end, the resolution is in the end of days. Live, love, and look for that day.
