🔹 Core Lessons from Scripture
1️⃣ GOD’s Glory Is Misunderstood When Leadership Is Rooted in Self-Interest (Judges 9:6–15).
Jotham’s parable of the trees reveals a powerful truth: fruitful trees declined kingship, while the thornbush—unfit and dangerous—accepted it.

2️⃣ GOD’s Glory Is Proclaimed Through Willing Surrender (Psalm 40:5, 7–10).

“I am happy to do YOUR will, O my ELOHIM. YOUR teachings are deep within me.”
3️⃣ GOD’s Glory Is Offered to All, Yet Received by the Prepared (Matthew 22:1–14).
