2 Chronicles 21.2-22.12-She hid him and his nurse in a private room away from Athaliah.
Psalm 79-How long do we have to put up with this, GOD?
Psalm 78.1-2, 34-38-Yet God was kind.

My chocolate lab Phoebe playing with a tennis ball. Having fun--enjoying the toy. She looks a bit ferocious though in this picture. Actually she is a big baby and loves to play. God gives all of us the ability to play. He grants the blessings and opportunities needed to play in his kingdom. God invites each one of us to play. Toe get up and go and leave our selfishness and play in joy with him and others. God not only allows us to play he keeps the game going. When the kingship was just about to be broken in the line of David to Jesus...God had a young nurse and a baby to hide in a private room -- to be cared for and to grow. This young baby was the only remaining heir to the line of Jesus. God was kind. But God was also putting up with the foolishness of his Chosen People in their wicked desires to lead themselves. But God took care and fulfilled that line of Kings with the one and only King that would ever be needed in Jesus. Through Jesus we have no need for another King in his Kingdom. And through Jesus we are free to run and play in his grace filled kingdom. Maybe even with a tennis ball.
