David says that when one rules justly over men, in the fear of God, there will be great blessing for the people. The kings after David were usually quite bad and Israel suffered greatly. Even so, how does this affect me now? We can experience this type of blessing from God when we let the peace of Christ rule our hearts (Col. 3:15). Christ is the ruler that David anticipated; He is the only one who can perfectly rule with justice and in the fear of God. My hope is not in a good leader, but in the Great King of all time.
