God is
the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Revelation
19:16
His title, King of kings and Lord of lords is proper. He is
sovereign over the kings and lords of the earth, and all nobles and princes are
under his control - a rank that properly belongs to the Son of God.
History is riddled with rulers that
had incredible power, but wanted more.
To name a few, Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn, Napoleon, Hitler,
Caesar, and most notably Satan. They
wanted to control everything and everyone.
As soon as these rulers changed their
focus from sitting on their throne, to sitting on God’s throne and becoming
King of kings they doomed themselves to failure.
We all have kingdoms; our homes, our
families, our jobs. Are we allowing God to rule in these areas, as a part of His
Kingdom, creating a perfect order?

Hey, another K for King post (like me). Awesome topic!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that these powerful leaders would fall when trying to sit on God's throne. Very fitting.
Happy A to Z blogging.

Sobering connection between usurping the kingship and bringing disasterous results to our own areas of authority. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYou give us much food for thought. Dean!
ReplyDeleteTrying to rule our own lives is so foolish when we have the master planner willing to do so - wow! Help me Lord! Thanks Dean!
