Kings, Commoners and Foreigners
Commentary
Today's selections could not have been better chosen for their ability to reveal something of the breadth and depth of the love of God. He cares for kings. He cares for foreigners. He hears the prayers of all.
Here is the opportunity to contrast the contentions of the universalists, those who declare him as Lord of all, and the exclusivists, those who maintain that he cares only for a chosen people. Turn to Isaiah 42, for instance, and check out verses 1-7.
Check out Psalm 103 which focuses our attention on the magnanimity of this God.
