Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 86, 1 Samuel 7-8.

The Israelites already had a king, a heavenly, eternal, sovereign, perfect king, but they wanted an earthly king like all the other nations. Samuel warned the people that an earthly king would take and take and take. He would take their sons and daughters along with their lands and animals and grain.

But to think about our heavenly, eternal king, Jesus, who gives and gives and gives, who gives us sons and daughters, who gives us land and animals and grain. And to think that Jesus gave us eternal life at the cost of His own life.

That’s my king! He is the All-knowing God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Ruler of Heaven and Earth, and He knows me by name. I am His, and He is mine.

Lord Jesus, You are my King. You are a good King. You gave up Your life that’s I might have eternal, abundant life. I bow my life before Your throne for You are worthy. You have all authority in heaven and on earth and that includes having authority over my heart, mind, will, and actions. I give my life to You willingly and joyfully, knowing that You are a good King who takes good care of Your people. Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord to thee. Take my moments and my days and let them flow in ceaseless praise. Amen.
