Psalms 127:1 Unless the
Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards
the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
“How could I forget that you’ve always been the King of the World.” The refrain from this song by Natalie Grant
ran through my mind in the predawn hours.
We worry; we fret; we try to figure things out because WE
ARE IN CONTROL…but mostly its all a façade as things slowly crumble in our
small kingdom.
When we are born, God bestows on each of us a kingdom to
rule. We are given control and the power
to make each and every decision in this little kingdom that we rule…AND if the
king/queen doesn’t get his/her way, the surrounding kingdoms can hear the
stomping foot of protest vibrating throughout their small world.
Of course the prosperous, happier kingdoms understand that
they only rule a “sub-kingdom” and they receive daily instructions and direction
from the KING OF THE WORLD.
What about your kingdom?
Has it become like the child’s game?
You claim the hill and stand precariously at the top, knowing that one
strong push will knock you down. OR…do you rule a beautiful kingdom that looks
so good to those in surrounding kingdoms but in your heart you know you are
sitting on the throne of a crumbling infrastructure…you’ve forgotten that “HE’S
ALWAYS BEEN THE KING OF THE WORLD.”
This morning take some time to put God in His rightful place
and you in yours. He belongs ON THE THRONE and you belong kneeling
in submission to THE KING OF THE
WORLD. Allow Him to put your kingdom
back on the solid foundation of His Kingdom.
