King Of Second Chances
For those of us that live in places where there are presidents and senators and so forth, it can be difficult to grasp what it means to live under the rule of a king. As believers, we do just that – we serve the One True Living God, our King. He is like all the great stories of benevolent, fair, and just kings we ever read, only far better. He not only fights for His people, He always wins when He does. Our King is undefeated. As I sit and think about God our King this morning, and think of all of His attributes, one thing stands out above the rest for me today. He never gives up on us.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
He always returns to save His people when they repent of evil. He sends wholeness, which is what salvation means, saving the whole man.
Isaih 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Today let’s remember what a great King we serve. He is the King of Second Chances, and never gives up on us. If you are facing something, some challenge, and you believe God will not help you with it, give Him a chance today. Let Him be King over that thing in Your life today. Ask Him for His help as your King, and watch as He transforms the very thing you are troubled by in front of Your very eyes! Hallelu Yah! We serve the undefeated King!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You today. You alone are our King. We need Your kingdom in this earth today Father. Send us Your overwhelming provision blessing today. Forgive us when we do what we should not do and think what we should not think. Help us to be better people today Father. Help us to do Your will in this earth. Heal and deliver Your people. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
