The burden of a godly leader is to remember. It is their calling to remember their people and their God at all times and in all situations. This burden is trounced upon by the things like sex and drugs. It is impeded by holding virtues like ease and comfort above justice and discipline. A godly man doesn’t lock his door and forget his responsibilities to those in his household. He leaves his house to provide for them, and he comes home to his house to be with them. There are too many men who do the opposite. Work and play are meant to escape the responsibilities of family. They love the idea of family but not the burden of it. A king must be sober and protective at all times of his community. He cannot imbibe of his appetites. Because of this, the nature of his highest virtues must be built from the idea of self sacrifice. He must see the gifting of the burden as an honor. He must understand that this honor dictates his own self discipline. The honor that God has bestowed upon him necessitates that he is an early riser, locks the doors at night, and stands watch for all threats and opportunities coming way of his kingdom. He must find this burden to be a great calling, or the pressures of it will surely crush him and his people.
