"The Lord [Jesus Christ] sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord [Jesus Christ] sits as King forever." (Psalm 29:10)
The Word for, "sat," can also be translated, "remain." The truth is that Jesus has been, is, and will, "remain...as King forever." Whoever else claims leadership over men and nations are as mere pharaohs, czars, prime ministers, presidents, servants of Jesus, "King of kings, and Lord of lords." Only of Jesus may it be said, "Thy Kingdom is a Kingdom of all ages, and Thy Dominion endures throughout all generations."
Whatever the outcome of my praying, my desires, my perceptions as to what is best for, well, anything and anybody, "Jesus Christ is Lord/King." As the Church in the First Century once said of that which they did not want, "And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, 'The will of the Lord be done.'"
I affirm the commitment and absolute surrender to the purposes of the Living Triune God as the Hebrews who were threatened by an ancient king of a world power, "Our God is able....Our God will....But if not...." What about you?
Father, in Jesus' Name, I have been making my petitions and requests known. I pray that Your, "....Kingdom come. Your will be done in earth as it is in Heaven." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
