Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”

Revelation 17:14

JESUS- He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords.

Yet for our sake, He went to the cross, bore the pain, the scorn and the shame.

And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, Matthew 27:29 The King's head had to bear the crown of thorns, all for our sake.

For our sake He became a curse that we might inherit the blessings of Abraham.

God's Son purchased our Salvation, so that we could be sons and daughters of the most high God. Hallelujah!

If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery.

I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. Psalm 119: 92-93

The Psalmist is in grave danger. The wicked are out to destroy him. (Verse 95) But his eyes are upon the Lord, recounting His faithfulness and power through many generations. He begins to delight in His Maker.

Choosing to delight in God might not be easy especially when things are not going well for us and we feel like giving up. That's when we need to focus on His word because God's word can revive us. You see, every circumstance you are facing today is under the feet of Jesus. He is well able to handle it. He is perfectly capable of sustaining us, if we will only let Him. If you are despondent or depressed, make a conscious effort to read the word of God, lay your burdens at His feet and He will strengthen you and help you to come out on the other side unscathed.

Hey stop thinking of God and Jesus as your "homie" or "the man upstairs" or even your "best friend" in the same sense as your human best friends.

I get where those impulses come from--they help you feel relationally "closer" to God. But that's the thing. The whole Gospel is "He's way high above you and totally perfect and in complete authority over you—and yet you can still have a close intimate relationship with Him, without that aspect of His nature ever lessening or changing."

That's the wonder and the awesomeness of the Gospel—that His holiness and otherness and authority doesn't make your relationship less intimate, and in fact, you can have the closest relationship to Him of your whole life. Without Him ever being brought down to your level. That's the wonder of the Gospel. Don't cheapen it by letting humanism-shortcuts taint your view of Him. Don't settle for normal mud pies when it's actually an extravagant feast like nothing else you can taste.

Leviticus 10:3: "By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy."
