The almighty "If/Then" statement... part math, part logic and part contract. The clear understanding here is that there are two sides to the equation. It only works if both sides are balanced one with the other.

We are constantly being romanced, in current Western culture, into believing that somehow life will be so much sweeter if we just let someone else do it... my grandmother was perhaps in the generation where this started in the extreme. Romanced into shortcuts in the kitchen- adding aluminum into her food and her brain, eating plastic masquerading as a better butter substitute... there is no end to the destruction that "free time" is causing to our health- physical, mental, emotional AND spiritual.

The Isrealites thought they'd be on easy street by selecting a king to rule over them. Turns out they didn't realize they were actually still on the hook for the other side of the contract. Nothing comes without a cost.

When Israel begged for a king so they could be like all the other nations around them Samuel told them they were being wicked. God flat out said that they were rejecting Him in favor of an earthly king.

But God has always put people in positions of authority... Moses, priests, judges, men at the head of household... all of those leadership positions are sanctioned- why not kingship?

Turns out, we humans have limited resources. Inevitably, we find yourselves diverting a portion of what we were intending to give to God over to those who rule us. So is it possible that power can either be holy or wicked- depending on who gets God's due?

What happens when God's hand rests heavily on you and you have no intermediary? The Philistines cast golden representatives of the tumors that happened in every one of their cities as the ark of the covenant traveled among them!

In the old testament, it took a priest who had lived a life set apart and had done a LOT of work to make himself pure enough to stand in God's presence. We live under the new covenant and our intermediary was gifted to us- if we choose to accept- in the form of Jesus. When we accept Him into our heart, God can turn His eye upon us without us suffering as a result.

God's raw power is awesome, fearsome, terrible... we get a glimpse of that during cataclysms and storms in nature. Imagine that being bound into a box that your family carries with you. You'd respect it right? Today I am pondering golden tumors, the ark of the covenant and the nature of disease.
