Jesus - The King of Kings
~ Allow this victorious King to settle your heart and mind today as you experience His presence. Revel in His power and might. And worship Him as the worthy King that He is.
The fate of so many nations has historically rested on the strength of its leaders. From Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great to King David, we look to kings as the catalyst for either victory or defeat, success or failure.
Scripture tells us in Revelation 19:16 that we as the people of God find our fate in the One True King. Scripture says, “On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Isaiah 9:6-7 says:
"For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this."
This Christmas season we celebrate the truth that our lives are hidden in Christ (Colossians 3:3). Our fate is wrapped up in His. Our victory and success is assured because our King sits enthroned on the heavens. He is high and lifted up, and His heart is filled with steadfast love for us, His bride.
If your future feels uncertain, if your heart is filled with anxiety, look no further than your Savior on whose robe and thigh is written, “King of kings and Lord of lords.” If the furthest thing from your heart seems to be peace, look to Jesus, whom Scripture calls, “Prince of Peace.” If you feel heavy and burdened from the weight and weariness of this world, look to God, our “Wonderful Counselor.”
God’s desire is to be near to you this season. His purpose is to pull you in closely to Him and remind you that you are His and He will never let you go. Sometimes all we need to get through the day is a little perspective. Sometimes all we need to experience victory over our current circumstances is to remember that Jesus has already won us.
Take time today to bring your cares and weights to the feet of the “King of kings.” Allow Him to declare over you both His unceasing affection and limitless power. May you find abundant peace today in the person of Jesus.
You and I are made to look to someone or something for leadership. We aren’t created to rule our own lives. If we don’t look to Jesus, we will undoubtedly look to this world, which only has the power to lead us away from abundant life in God.
• Where are your eyes set today?
• What are you looking to for provision, peace, and life?
Fix your eyes on Jesus today, the “founder and perfecter” of our faith, that you might find transcendent peace and steadfast hope (Hebrews 12:1-2). May your day be filled with all the goodness of one who serves the “King of kings.”
