Topsy-turvy

Life often becomes chaotic, and we may find ourselves thinking it’s just too crazy. Maybe it suddenly seems topsy-turvy. 

Consider this comment from a powerful king: “There is an evil I have seen under the sun, as an error proceeding from the ruler; folly is set in great dignity while the rich sit in a lowly place. I have seen servants on horses, while princes walk on the ground like servants.” (Ecclesiastes 10:5-7) King Solomon was a very wealthy king, yet he too had questions when life seemed out of balance.

In the king’s world, princes were supposed to ride horses while their servants walked, but Solomon witnessed the reverse. Those who were supposed to serve were now ruling, and those who had been rulers were now the servants.
