Having a terrible dream, a queen feared for her husband’s life, for if the king were dead, the country might crumble. She sought answers in the stars, in the telling of dreams, and in signs.
She asked her favorite astrologer, “Will my husband live?” and he replied, “Yes, he will live.” So she was pleased.
But on his way back to the castle, the king’s parade inadvertently interfered with when a beggar cut across the path. In anger, the king kicked the poor man mercilessly. As the king beat him and cursed him, the lowly beggar asked the Lord, “Protect me, God.”
So a lightening bolt came out of the clear blue sky and struck the king dead. And the beggar was spared.
The queen, seeing in this a failure by her astrologer, had him killed. After all this had occurred, the country fell to its foe.
The Lord looks over all of His subjects and cares for them. But the weak and defenseless hold a special place to Him. Those who call out to the Lord shall find Him. And the powerful who defy the Lord shall find He destroys their line and all around them.
