In rehearsing 70 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II many commentators wrote of her sense of duty and devotion to her people. Though monarchy is not the norm in our world, yet it is of vital concern in the scriptures. For the message of the gospel is one of a great King of Kings and his coming Kingdom.
Daniel envisioned the time in which the Messiah would return to earth and take up the throne of David. This theme of the return of the King to claim his Kingdom is reinforced by all the New Testament writers. So it is no wonder that God should provide guidance in his Word as to the duty of a King or Queen.

We, the saints, like the king portrayed in the books of Moses, have a duty to perform in serving God’s people. The Lord God did not want his royal rulers to depend on their military forces, to multiply wives to make foreign alliances, or to enrich themselves at the expense of those they were called to serve.
Rather, a godly ruler was to understand his duty to both read and write God’s word. Thus he would gain the wisdom to administer justice and enact policies in harmony with God and for the benefit of the people. The ruler would care for the needs of all, including the orphan, widow, and foreigner. And would judge all without partiality.

As ‘royal rulers-in-training’ the saints are to understand their mission and fulfill their duty. They are to follow in the footsteps of their King, Jesus Christ. So, that by the power of the spirit of God they will be willing to give their lives in service to others motivated by a clear vision of the future reality of God’s Kingdom. King David understood his duty, and at the end of his life of service to his people he wrote: “He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” Understanding our duty to God and his people is as important today as it was millennia ago.
