"A bad workman always blames his tools."
The ancient proverb rings just as true today, and it is with this
challenge for personal responsibility that Dr. Warren Wiersbe
begins this latest installment of his comprehensive study through
the Bible. Responsibility is not a popular concept for modern
sensibilities that prefer to emphasize victimization and
blame-seeking. Unfortunately, finding even leaders who will take it
can be difficult, to say the least.
King David knew what it meant to be a responsible leader, and so
did his son Solomon . . . until the closing years of his reign. But
out of the twenty subsequent kings who reigned in Judah, only eight
could be called good kings and responsible men who sought to obey
God.
Tragically, not only was there a lack of political moral
leadership, but the spiritual leadership (priests and prophets)
notoriously failed both God and the people.
As you follow along with Dr. Wiersbe in this study of 1 Kings, you
will see over and over again the importance of moral character in
leaders, as well as the tragedy of leaving God out of national
affairs. Clearly the call to Be Responsible is as much a need today
as it was in the age of Judah's kings.
