1 Kings 12:11 "And
now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke:
my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with
scorpions."
We can only think that
young Rehoboam and his buddies were too aware of their own youth and weakness
to have given and followed such foolish advice. They felt they had to seize
control of the kingdom by threats and a show of force.
When we write scenes of
our characters seizing control, we might write it when the villain takes
control of the situation that the hero must fight against. Or it could be at
the climax, when the hero wins the day.
But we can also write
nonfiction articles about seizing control. Those articles might concern how to
handle a difficult child for parenting magazines, how to control an unruly
classroom for teaching magazines, or how to keep from being bullied for kid’s
magazines.
