Our King

 I Samuel 11-12; 1 Chronicles 1; 2 Corinthians 11 

“But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to rule over us’ – even though the Lord your God was your king.”

2 Samuel 12:12

Fear is a powerful motivator to change governance systems and a host of other leadership strategies. However, when these strategies avoid or distract us from seeking the face of God and placing our full dependency on him, we, too, are in trouble. The Ammonites were not Israel’s primary threat, losing faith and dependency on the Lord was the issue.

Where is God allowing significant problems or threats in our story to get our attention and turn our eyes back to him?

In what way are we, too, asking for a human solution (a ‘king’), for a spiritual problem?

Will we reaffirm the Lord Jesus as our king and put our full hope and trust in him, for both eternity and our current needs today?

“Lord Jesus, your leadership is unlike any other. I put my full trust in you for all things this day, for your glory.”
