QB=Quick Brains
The political quarterbacks who ruled after David were not always as tough under pressure as their ancestor. David's grandson, Rehoboam, took a hard line on the draft and taxes, and promptly split the nation in two- "Judah" (two tribes) and "Israel" (ten tribes). Together, 1 and 2 Kings cover more than four centuries of leaders a few of them godly and successful, but more of them off on their own ego-trips which left God out of their plan.
Tough prophets like Elijah and Elisha sometimes succeeded at pounding sense into royal heads, but by 587 B.C. The Assyrians and Babylonians had combined to force-march the Israelis away from their homes and to devastate the splendid capital of David and Solomon. Then, as now, it all depended upon who was listening to God and who was ignoring him.
From "The Way" The Living bible Illustrated-copyright 1972 and 1977/ISBN#8423-7820-0.
A great team in the year of 1972, that showed great team leadership, against all odds. Super Bowl VI, was the cowboys first Superbowl win. It was meant to happen, a team label as the underdogs, came out and triumphant in glory. In those days, that is how battles were won, strong leader that gave strong leadership and the team responded. As a nation, we need those same guidelines, we need a strong leader, strong leadership and we as a people, in one of the most powerful nations in the world, need to respond. However, not by the power of our own will, but that of God's. Because we just don't want temporary victory, we want the victory of the Kingdom of God. Therefore, we must stand as one people and one people accord to the QB of Heaven, Jesus Christ as he march us through for eternal victory to reign forever.
