Thoughts from the Throne
Who sits on YOUR throne? Is it you? Your job? Your family? Your wealth?
If it’s anyone other than our Heavenly Father, then your starting point for life is ALREADY out of order–literally. When you were in school, did you ever have a quiz or test maybe skipped an answer because you weren’t sure and wanted to come back to it, but forgot to skip a line when writing your other answers? The result was that you got a whole bunch of questions wrong because you had the answers in the wrong place–the wrong order? If you start out wrong putting things in order, then EVERYTHING is out of order.
Maybe you’re thinking that your family is your top priority. That certainly SOUNDS like a good thing, but if you put your family ahead of God, then you’ve actually done WRONG by them. Your family will get your best when you put God first. Your job will be more fulfilling when you surrender it to God’s will instead of your own. YOU will be a greater blessing to your family, your friends, your church, your job when you humble yourself by making sure there is only ONE throne in your life–and that you recognize there is only room on that throne for one.
There is only one King–and He alone is worthy to be on the throne.
